ST.    MALO'S    QUEST 

AND   OTHER   POEMS. 


ST.     MALO'S     QUEST. 

I. 

1  HE  shadow  of  a  sudden  grief  has  fallen 
On  Aleth  ;  every  heart  is  bleeding  sore, 
And  every  eye  is  downcast.     Children's  mirth 
Is  hushed  throughout  the  town,  and  not  a  sound 
Ruffles  the  evening  stillness,  save  the  scream 
Of  some  lone  sea  bird,  or  the  sobbing  voice 
Of  surges,  dying  on  the  rocky  shore. 
For  yonder  ship,  beneath  the  sheltering  cliff. 


iJ\ 


2  ST.    MALO  S    QUEST. 

Awaits  the  saint  of  Aleth,  brave  St.  Malo, 
Whose  heart  is  yearning  for  the  blessed  isles 
Which  lie  beyond  the  sunset,  and  who  sails 
In  quest  of  them  to-night. 

Seven  years  of  apostolic  zeal  have  failed 
To  build  up  Paradise  in  Aleth.     Still, 
Though  heathen  rites  have  ceased,  its  heathen  heart 
Remains ;  and  multitudes,  who  long  have  worn 
The  livery  of  Christ,  and  loved  St.  Malo, 
Groan  in  the  slavery  of  lust  and  wrong. 
Doubting  has  dimmed  the  light  of  simple  faith, 
And  holy  mysteries  are  rent  and  torn 
By  hands  profane,  who  vainly  would  define 
Their  hidden  grace,  and  grasp  the  invisible ; 
Just  as  a  wanton  child  would  pluck  the  leaves 
Of  some  bright  flower,  in  foolish  hope  to  find 
The  secret  of  its  bloom.     Impatience  too. 
And  pride,  and  stubbornness,  are  breeding  strife 
Before  the  very  altar  of  the  Lord ; 
Supplanting  zeal  with  coldness,  dragging  down 


ST.    MALOS    QUEST.  3 

The  Church  to  the  base  level  of  the  world, 
And  kindling  laughter  on  the  scoffer's  face. 
What  wonder  then  that  Male's  soul  is  sick 
Of  home,  and  thirsting  for  that  unknown  land, 
Which,  like  the  shore  of  heaven,  is  free  from  strife  ! 
What  though  no  chart  nor  pilot  can  be  found 
To  guide  him  to  that  coast !     Has  he  not  heard 
From  many  a  holy  sage,  that  when  the  sun 
Sinks  down  in  floods  of  gold  and  purjDle  light, 
Visions  of  glowing  islands  have  been  seen  ? 
And  has  not  many  a  pilgrim  of  the  sea 
Caught  glimpses  of  their  shores,  and  heard  sweet  bells 
Chiming  for  evensong,  and  hymns  of  praise 
Floating  upon  the  breeze,  like  strains  of  heaven  ? 
Does  not  the  heart,  too,  by  its  yearning,  witness 
That  better,  purer,  brighter  realms  exist, 
Than  scenes  of  sin  and  sorrow,  as  the  magnet 
Proclaims  the  presence  of  the  power  it  loves  ? 
Therefore  no  chiding  voice  is  heard,  no  hand 
Would  dare  to  stay  his  footsteps,  as  the  saint. 
Leading  his  crew  of  chosen  mariners, 


4  ST.    MALO  S    QUEST. 

Wends  slowly  o'er  the  sand.— 

Behind  them  flows 
A  weeping  multitude,  to  whom  his  words 
Have  opened  hopes  of  peace  and  rest  in  heaven  ; 
And  kneeling  on  the  sand  in  tender  grief, 
They  crave  once  more  his  blessing,  and  remain 
Watching  the  vessel  till  it  fades  away 
In  the  bright  pathway  of  the  setting  sun. 


II. 


Seven  days  and  nights  the  pilgrim  ship  swept  on 
Before  a  westward  breeze  ;  seven  times  the  sun 
Rose  cloudless  from  the  sea,  and  set  in  glory. 
Old  Ocean's  voice  grew  gentle  as  a  song 
That  lulls  the  cradled  infant,  and  the  stars 
With  such  unwonted  lustre  gemmed  the  night, 
That  Malo  watched  the  sky  with  breathless  awe. 
Listening  for  angels,  and  imagining 
That  he  was  nearing  heaven's  vestibule. 


ST.    MALOS    QUEST. 

But  nothing  saw  they  till  the  seventh  eve, 
When,  lo  !  against  the  sun's  half-buried  disk, 
The  summit  of  a  purple  island  rose, 
And  stood  in  shadowy  outline,  till  the  last 
Bright  rosy  gleam  of  heavenly  light  had  sunk 
Behind  it.     Then  the  pilgrims  sang  with  joy 
Their  hymns  of  praise,  and  laid  them  down  to  rest. 
Dreaming  that  morning  light  would  lead  them  on 
To  some  bright  haven  of  the  blessed  land. 

Alas  !  when  daylight  dawned,  that  twilight  isle 
Had  lost  its  robes  of  glory,  and  become 
A  pile  of  frowning,  rugged,  barren  rocks. 
Peopled  with  vultures,  lashed  by  angry  waves. 
And  haunted  by  a  melancholy  wail. 
But  on  the  highest  peak  a  Cross  was  reared, 
And  at  its  foot,  with  hands  uplifted,  knelt 
A  hoary  anchorite  in  earnest  prayer. 

The  sails  were  slackened,  and  the  vessel  swung 
Into  a  sheltered  nook,  where  lay  secure 


5  ST.    MALO  S    QUEST. 

The  hermit's  coracle,  and  whence  a  path 
Led  up  the  winding  ledges  to  his  cell. 
There,  seated  on  the  lichen-covered  rocks 
That  half  concealed  the  door,  the  pilgrims  learnt 
How  on  that  lonely  spot  the  holy  man. 
Free  from  the  world's  polluted  atmosphere, 
Had  hoped  by  easy  steps  to  climb  to  heaven  ; 
Yet  how,  in  spite  of  sheltering  solitude, 
And  freedom  from  the  snares  of  evil  men. 
And  fasts,  and  midnight  vigils,  mocking  fiends 
Still  dogged  his  footsteps  and  defiled  his  soul. 
Once  in  a  tempest,  when  the  solid  rocks 
Were  trembling  at  the  strife  of  wind  and  wave, 
The  powers  of  hell,  he  said,  so  madly  rose 
Against  him,  buffeting  his  awe-struck  spirit 
With  base,  distrusting  thoughts  of  Christ  his  Lord- 
Staining  his  inner  vision  with  a  flood 
Of  unclean  images,  and  liowling  forth. 
With  the  storm-voices,  hideous  blasphemies — 
That  from  his  cell  he  fled  at  dead  of  night 
To  seek  the  shelter  of  the  Cross,  and  there, 


ST.    MALO  S    QUEST.  7 

Clasping  its  foot  till  morn,  he  prostrate  lay, 

Crying  for  mercy  to  the  Crucified ; 

And  whilst  he  prayed,  there  fell  a  sudden  lull, 

As  though  the  voice  which  soothed  the  waves  of  old, 

Had   once  more   hushed  them,   saying,    '  Peace,  be 

still ! ' 
Then  on  his  sinking  spirit  dawned  a  light 
Ineffable,  unearthly,  which  disclosed 
A  country  of  surpassing  loveliness  ; 
And  from  its  shores  he  heard  an  angel  cry, 
'  Fight  the  good  fight  of  faith,  O  weary  soul ! 
And  hither  in  life's  evening  thou  shalt  come, 
To  reap  the  harvest  of  thy  toil,  and  dwell. 
Free  from  all  sorrows,  in  the  land  of  rest ! ' 

'  Thither  our  course  is  bound,'  St.  Malo  said, 
'  And  thou  art  bidden  with  us  ;  sail  we  then 
Together  when  the  sunset  spans  the  sea  ! ' 


ST.    MALO'S    QUEST. 


III. 


That  evening,  when  the  vessel  left  the  bay, 
Shouts  as  of  demons  burst  from  crag  and  cave, 
Mocking,  so  thought  the  mariners,  their  faith  ; 
And  scornful  laughter  mingled  with  the  roar 
Of  waves  that  dashed  upon  the  rocky  isle. 
Far  in  the  west  a  wall  of  purple  clouds 
Eclipsed  the  sunset,  and  along  the  marge 
Of  ocean  rolled  an  angry  noise  of  strife, 
As  though  the  unseen  hosts  that  throng  the  air 
Were  marshalling  for  battle  on  the  sea. 
Anon  fleet  heralds  of  a  coming  storm 
Swept  o'er  the  scowling  deep,  flecking  the  waves 
With  crests  of  foam,  and  raining  floods  of  spray 
On  the  lone  pilgrims  and  their  shuddering  bark. 
But  onwards  with  undaunted  hearts  they  sailed, 
Heedless  of  danger,  for  their  steadfast  trust 
In  God's  unfailing  love  and  sheltering  care 
Vanquished  misgiving  thoughts,  and  gave  them  peace. 


ST.    MALO  S    QUEST. 

'  This  troubled  sea,'  St.  Malo  said,  '  awakes 
The  memory  of  my  earliest  confidence 
In  Him  who  rules  the  waves.     One  summer  eve, 
In  days  of  wayward  youth,  weary  of  sport, 
I  wandered  from  my  comrades  to  the  sand 
That  skirts  on  Cambria's  coast  the  Severn  sea, 
And  there,  upon  a  heap  of  tangled  weed 
Cast  from  the  ocean-depths,  I  laid  me  down 
To  watch  the  stately  sea-birds  on  the  wing, 
And  listen  to  the  music  of  the  waves. 
Then  slumber  seized  me,  and  old  Ocean's  tongue 
Became  articulate  in  songs  of  praise ; 
While  angel-hosts  shone  forth  on  sea  and  sky, 
Encircling  me  with  loving  guardianship. 
E'en  as  of  old  on  Dothan's  leagured  hill 
Chariots  of  fire  flashed  round  the  man  of  God. 
At  midnight,  when  I  woke,  behold  the  bed 
On  which  I  lay,  snatched  by  the  treacherous  tide, 
Was  floating  on  the  sea ;  and  all  around 
Thick  darkness  lay,  and  dashing  billows  roared  ; 
But  unseen  hands  upheld  me,  and  I  felt 


lO  ST.    MALO  S    QUEST. 

A  guardian  presence  bidding  me  be  still, 
And  rest  in  God  by  ceaseless  faith  and  prayer. 

'  \Mien  morning  dawned,  lo  !  near  at  hand  arose 
The  shore  from  whence  I  strayed,  and  on  the  sand 
My  loving  master,  holy  Brendan,  stood 
Awaiting  me,  admonished  in  a  dream 
That  God  had  rescued  and  would  land  me  there. 
Then  fear  not,  brothers,  tho'  the  sky  grow  black 
With  rising  tempests,  for  the  selfsame  arm 
That  saved  the  child  will  not  forsake  the  man. 
This  trembling  vessel  is  our  destined  ark  ; 
Christ  is  our  pilot,  storms  His  ministers  ; 
And  whilst  we  cling  to  Him  in  steadfast  faith, 
Our  course  is  certain  to  the  land  of  rest ! ' 

Darker  and  fiercer  grew  the  hurricane, 
And,  clinging  to  the  masts,  the  pilgrims  flew 
Helpless  before  its  fury,  wreathed  in  foam. 
Rocks  bristled  round  them,  monsters  of  the  deep 
Uprose  to  crush  them,  hissing  fiends  bestrode 


ST.    MALO'S    QUEST.  I  1 


Their  shattered  sails,  and  birds  of  evil  note 
Croaked  overhead  their  prophecies  of  woe  ; 
But  nought   could  quench  their  hope,  or  stay  their 

course. 
Three  weary  nights  they  counted  ere  the  storm 
Began  to  flag,  and  then  their  eyes  grew  bright 
At  sight  of  land  ;  then  sunbeams  struggled  down 
To  clothe  with  smiles  of  welcome  mountain-slopes 
And  palmy  groves,  which  shone  like  Paradise, 
As  joyfully  they  neared  an  unknown  shore. 


IV. 


A  channel  lay  betwixt  two  granite  cliffs, 
Which  rose  like  giant  castles  from  the  sea. 
And  widening  inland  formed  a  tranquil  mere, 
Girdled  with  hills  and  fringed  with  mighty  trees. 
Thither  the  pilgrims  sped  and  moored  their  ship. 
Dreaming  that  scenes  so  calm  and  bright  might  be 
The  threshold  of  a  sinless  Paradise. 


I  2  ST.    MALO  S    QUEST. 

At  eventide  they  sought  to  climb  a  gorge 

Bristling  with  rocks,  when,  lo  !  from  beetling  heights 

A  cloud  of  arrows  hurtled  through  the  air, 

And  fiendish  laughter  pealed  from  crag  and  cave. 

Back  to  the  shelter  of  their  bark  they  fled. 

Dismayed,  and  hotly  chased  by  savages. 

But  ere  their  sails  were  spread  in  flight,  a  dart 

Had  laid  the  hermit  prostrate  on  the  deck. 

That  night  they  braved  again  the  open  sea, 
Drifting  with  heedless  helm  before  the  wind. 
No  converse  held  they,  but  in  silent  gloom. 
Like  migrant  swallows  scattered  on  the  deep, 
They  communed  with  their  yearning  hearts  and  God 
For  light  and  comfort,  while  the  dews  of  death 
Mirrored  the  starlight  on  the  hermit's  brow. 

At  midnight  thus  the  dying  brother  spake  : 
'  The  mists  of  sin  which  hide  the  world  unseen 
Are  rolling  from  my  vision,  and  a  light 
Celestial  is  breaking  on  my  soul. 
I  see,  but  not  with  carnal  eyes,  the  isles 


ST.    MALO'S    QUEST.  13 

For  which  our  hearts  have  thirsted  long  and  sore, 
And  all  the  bliss  ineffable  of  heaven. 
I  hear,  but  not  with  organs  of  the  flesh, 
Angelic  greetings,  and  the  songs  of  praise 
That  souls  of  ransomed  sinners  love  to  sing. 
I  feel,  but  not  with  dying  hands,  the  touch 
Of  disembodied  friends  who  welcome  me. 
New  faculties  are  struggling  into  birth 
Within  my  inmost  being.    All  the  past 
Is  fading  from  my  vision,  as  the  night 
Dissolves  when  morning  radiance  floods  the  sky  ; 
And  this  fair  world,  with  all  its  pomp  and  power, 
Seems  to  my  spirit,  bursting  from  its  thrall, 
A  barren  husk,  from  which  I  spring  to  gain 
A  heritage  of  life  for  evermore  ! ' 

So  spake  the  hermit,  while  the  saintly  crew 
Knelt  round  his  couch  to  catch  his  dying  words ; 
And  when  his  voice  was  hushed,  they  still  knelt  on, 
To  speed  his  parting  with  the  breath  of  prayer. 
Was  it  a  dream  ?  or  did  they  hear  a  strain 
Of  heaven's  own  music  when  he  passed  away  ? 


14  ST.    MALOS    QUEST. 


V. 


At  morn,  lo  !  full  before  the  pilgrims  lay 
A  ship  with  riven  sails,  whose  wattled  frame, 
Encased  in  skins,  and  patched  from  stern  to  prow, 
Creaked  mournfully  at  every  rocking  wave. 
It  was  St.  Brendan's  vessel,  homeward  bound, 
After  long  years  of  quest  in  seas  that  lie 
On  earth's  extremest  verge. 

As  soldiers  meet 
When  war  is  over,  and  they  totter  home 
Dauntless,  but  wounded  sore,  so  met  the  saints ; 
And  drifting  side  by  side,  they  reached  a  shore 
AVhich  beckoned  them  for  converse  and  repose. 
There  in  a  sheltered  nook  they  lay,  and  thus 
The  story  of  his  quest  St.  Brendan  told. 

'  Strange  wonders  have  we  seen,  enough  to  quail 
The  bravest  heart ;  monsters  that  haunt  the  deep 
Have  chased  us  savagely  with  open  jaws  ; 


ST.    MALO'S    QUEST.  15 

Legions  of  devils  have  assaulted  us 

In  scenes  of  tenderest  beauty ;   raging  storms 

Have  hurled  us  into  climes  of  endless  nisht 

Where  lurid  phantoms  from  the  nether  world 

Stream  upwards  and  besiege  the  northern  sky. 

Once,  when  the  sea  was  waveless,  and  a  glow 

Softer  than  sunlight,  fairer  than  the  morn, 

Lingered  upon  the  deep,  a  galaxy 

Of  islands  rose  before  us,  pure  and  bright 

As  heaven's  own  glorious  city ;  and  we  dreamt 

That  God  at  length  had  brought  us  to  the  bourne 

Forwhich  we  yearned.    But  when  we  sought  theirshores, 

Some  floated  from  us,  others  crashed  apart. 

And  plunged  as  though  in  mockery  'neath  the  sea. 

Then  winter  seized  us  with  his  iron  grasp, 

And  made  the  deep  a  jail  of  adamant, 

Compelling  us  to  burrow  in  the  ice, 

And  pine  in  want  and  darkness  till  our  hearts 

Had  well-nigh  ceased  to  beat. 

When  spring  returned. 
And  loosed  the  barriers  of  our  prison-house. 


1 6  ST.    MALO'S    QUEST. 

We  spread  our  sails  again,  and  southward  sailed. 

But  darker  woe  befell  us.     In  our  course 

A  mountain  rose,  seething  with  liquid  fire 

That  rent  its  slopes,  and  fell  with  hissing  roar 

Into  a  zone  of  ice  which  girt  its  base. 

Awe-struck,  we  gazed  thereat,  when,  lo  !  a  monk, 

Who,  Judas-like,  had  joined  our  pilgrimage 

In  hope  of  finding  luxury  and  gold. 

And  caring  not  for  fellowship  with  Heaven, 

Grew  deadly  pale,  and,  clinging  to  the  mast, 

Beheld,  he  said,  strange  forms  of  aspect  fierce, 

Unseen  by  others,  hovering  round  the  ship. 

And  heard  a  voice,  to  us  inaudible, 

Which  thundered  to  his  soul  the  words,  '  Depart ! 

Thy  master  calls  thee  hence  to  yonder  fire  ! 

Thou  who  art  clothed  with  Satan's  livery, 

Haste  to  the  presence-chamber  of  thy  lord  ! 

All  realms  but  his  fade  from  thy  sight.    Depart  ! 

He  claims  thee  as  his  own ;  his  home  is  thine  ! ' 

Then  darkness  fell,  through  which  forked  lightnings  shot; 

And  when  the  day  returned,  the  monk  was  gone.' 


ST.    MALO  S    QUEST.  I  7 

VI. 

*  Mourning  our  brother,  trembling  for  ourselves, 
We  hurried  from  that  shore  in  speechless  dread, 
And,  sailing  southwards,  reached  a  fairer  scene 
Than  e'er  before  had  burst  upon  our  gaze. 
Mountains  on  mountains  piled  rose  from  the  sea, 
Glorious  with  flocks,  bright  fields  of  golden  corn, 
And  sih^er  streams  that  shimmered  down  the  slopes  ; 
Whilst  on  the  coast,  far  as  the  eye  could  range, 
Trees  of  majestic  beauty  clustered  round 
Tall  pinnacles  and  gorgeous  palaces. 
We  neared  the  shore  at  sundown,  when  sweet  chimes 
For  evensong  were  blending  with  the  tongues 
Of  winged  choristers  and  babbling  waves  ; 
And  casting  anchor,  lay  in  joyful  rest, 
Waiting  with  bounding  hearts  for  morning  light. 

At  midnight,  when  my  weary  comrades  slept. 
And  I  was  watching  still  the  shadowy  land, 
My  name  was  uttered  thrice,  and  011  the  shore 


1 8  ST.    MALO'S    QUEST. 

There  rose  before  my  dazzled  gaze  a  form 

Of  more  than  earthly  beauty,  clothed  with  robes 

Whose   brightness   paled    the   stars,  and   compassed 

round 
With  light,  in  which  a  glowing  rainbow  shone. 
*  O  Brendan,'  said  the  vision,  '  cease  thy  quest 
For  life  among  the  dead  !    True  is  thy  heart  ; 
Thy  yearning  for  the  promised  land  is  true. 
But  vain  thy  wanderings.     No  fragile  bark 
Shall  ever  bear  thee  to  the  sinless  isles ; 
On  them  no  waves  can  break,  no  tempests  beat, 
No  dream  of  worldly  bliss  its  promise  reap. 
Though  earth  is  rolling  past  them  evermore, 
They  echo  not  to  mortal  voice,  nor  own 
Affinity  with  earthly  elements. 
As  clouds  float  thro'  the  viewless  atmosphere, 
And  know  no  kinship  with  its  purity. 
Till  dissolution  melts  them  into  air ; 
So  human  life,  with  all  its  accidents, 
Must  wane  and  die  to  win  the  promised  heaven 
In  which  it  moves.     Return  then  to  thy  home  ! 


ST.    MALOS    QUEST.  1 9 

And  there  in  feith  and  patience  serve  thy  Lord  ! 
There  in  the  task  assigned  to  thee  by  Him 
Seek  holy- ground,  and  light  from  Paradise 
Shall  stream  upon  thy  path.     There  let  thy  soul 
Strain  ever  upwards  from  its  earthly  ties, 
Purging  its  sight  by  mastery  o'er  the  flesh  ; 
Tracking  the  footprints  of  thy  risen  Lord  ; 
Subduing  evil  by  the  might  of  prayer  ; 
And  when  the  clouds  of  life  shall  melt  away. 
Thy  feet  shall  stand  upon  the  blessed  shore  ! ' 
So  spake  the  heavenly  youth,  and  darkness  fell. 

At  morn  the  isle  was  hidden  by  a  mist, 
And  rising  waves  were  thundering  on  the  reefs, 
Warning  us  seaward.     Up  and  down  that  coast 
Seven  days  we  sailed,  hearing  the  billows  break 
Upon  its  rocky  marge,  but  nevermore 
Saw  we  its  glory.     Sunlight  shone  again 
On  sea  and  sky,  but  nothing  met  our  gaze 
In  all  the  wide  expanse  of  desert  waves, 
Save  the  blue  ridges  and  the  barren  rocks. 


20  ST.    MALO  S    QUEST. 


VII. 

Then  spake  St.  Malo  :  '  God  reveals  Himself 
In  features  manifold.     Sometimes  by  speech 
Of  sinful  man  He  syllables  His  Will ; 
Sometimes  He  flashes  light  into  the  soul 
Straight  from  the  eternal  throne.     And  evermore, 
By  outward  weal  and  woe,  His  guiding  Hand 
Uplifts  the  veil  and  points  the  way  to  rest. 
Once  when  a  craven  prophet  sought  in  flight 
To  win  repose,  God  smote  him  with  a  storm, 
Submerged  him  in  the  deep,  and  taught  him  thence 
To  rise  and  face  with  fearless  zeal  his  task. 
So  through  the  darkness  of  our  fruitless  quest 
He  sheds  a  ray  upon  our  destiny, 
Foreshadowing  in  our  woes  sublimer  bliss 
Than  we  have  vainly  sought.     What  though  the  isles 
For  which  we  yearned  have  never  met  our  gaze  ! 
What  though  our  frames  have  shrivelled  to  the  bone, 
Tortured  by  hunger,  scathed  by  wind  and  waves  ! 


ST.    MALOS    QUEST.  2  1 

Has  not  our  sight  been  chastened  to  perceive 

The  heaven  that  Hves  in  fellowship  with  God  ? 

Have  we  not,  too,  drawn  nearer  to  its  shore, 

And  heard  amidst  conflicting  elements 

An  echo  of  its  music  in  our  souls  ? 

O  brothers  !  let  us  falter  not  in  faith, 

Nor  fear  that  God  will  mock  our  weary  quest. 

He  woke  our  yearning  for  a  purer  clime ; 

Brought  us  into  the  wilderness  of  waves ; 

Taught  us  the  barrenness  of  earthly  dreams ; 

Gave  us  such  visions  of  our  destiny. 

That  neither  death  nor  hell  could  dim  our  joy ; 

And  He  will  lead  us,  though  we  know  not  how. 

To  the  still  haven  where  our  souls  would  be  !' 

That  night  the  pilgrims  lengthened  out  their  prayers 
For  home  and  rest,  and  when  the  earliest  ray 
Of  golden  light  shot  upwards  in  the  east, 
St.  Malo,  kneeling  still  upon  the  beach, 
Felt  on  his  brow  a  touch  invisible. 
As  of  an  angel's  hand,  and  heard  a  voice 


2  2  ST.    MALOS    QUEST. 

Bidding  him  stand  and  Avatch  the  rising  dawn. 
Then  dimbing  to  the  summit  of  a  rock, 
He  saw  on  ocean's  rim  the  roUing  hills 
And  towers  of  Aleth,  clothed  in  purple,  rise 
Against  the  rosy  sky ;  and  as  he  gazed 
Rejoicing,  lo  !  a  vista,  paved  with  gems. 
Opened  in  heaven  above  them,  and  disclosed 
The  gates  of  bliss. — '  Behold  the  promised  rest !' 
An  angel  cried ;  '  In  all  thy  wanderings 
It  ever  lies  before  thee ;  but  the  road 
Thereto  is  visible  to  him  alone 
Whose  feet  along  the  path  of  duty  walk. 
Thither  return ;  and  there,  in  toil  for  God, 
Watch,  pray,  and  wait.     So  shall  thy  earthly  home 
Catch  heaven's  own  lustre  till  it  merge  in  heaven  !' 


THE  SEPULTURE  OF  KING  GERRANS. 

A    CORNISH    LEGEND. 


It  was  the  golden  season  of  the  year 
When  good  King  Gerrans  died,  and  joyful  shouts 
Of  harvest-home  rose  heavenward  at  what  time 
His  spirit  past.     But  ere  the  morrow's  sun 
Had  looked  on  Roseland  with  his  noonday  glance, 
And  listened  for  the  reaper's  wonted  song, 
A  blight  had  fallen  upon  the  joy  of  harvest. 
And  grief  and  silence  brooded  o'er  the  land- 
Silence  that  might  be  felt,  like  Egypt's  gloom. 
In  field  and  bower,  palace  and  lowly  cot. 
All  mourned  their  King  alike,  with  filial  grief 
They  buried  him  at  evening,  when  the  sun 
Went  down  in  glory ;  and  across  the  bay, 
From  dark  Din  Gerein  to  the  shore  of  Gwen  Draeth, 
They  bore  Khn  in  a  shallop  decked  with  gold, 


24      THE    SEPULTURE    OF    KING    GERRANS. 

Winging  its  shining  course  with  silver  oars. 
A  hundred  galleys  followed,  and  from  them 
Pealed  forth  a  holy  chant,  loud  as  the  voice 
Of  many  waters,  kindling  joyful  thoughts 
Of  rest  and  glory  for  the  blessed  dead  : 
And  on  the  shore  a  mighty  multitude, 
That  fringed  the  bay,  and  darkened  on  the  hills. 
Echoed  the  strain,  while  Ocean's  solemn  voice 
Thrilled  in  wild  harmony,  as  if  the  song 
Rose  from  the  vaults  of  HadSs. — 
Then  o'er  the  sand  the  golden  boat  was  borne. 
Raised  on  the  shoulders  of  twelve  giant  knights. 
And  up  the  steep  the  long  procession  moved 
With  pausing  tread.     There  on  the  brow  of  Carne 
They  placed  the  shallop  and  its  royal  freight 
Beneath  the  heathery  sod,  and  all  that  night. 
Whilst  on  the  grave  they  heaped  a  lofty  mound, 
To  keep  in  mind  and  memory  evermore 
The  name  and  honour  of  their  sainted  King, 
They  heard  strange  melody  among  the  stars, 
And  in  the  diapason  of  the  sea. 


ST.     FABIAN. 


1  HEY  gathered  in  the  minster's  gloom, 

Perplexed  and  downcast  all, 
For  sadly  stood  their  Bishop's  tomb 

Beside  the  ancient  wall ; 
And  who  should  fill  his  sacred  throne, 
Now  good  St.  Anterus  was  gone  ? 

When,  lo  !  a  Dove,  all  silvery  white. 

As  blossom  on  the  bough, 
Came  quivering  in  the  vaulted  height. 

And  touched  St.  Fabian's  brow  : 
'  A  messenger  from  Heaven  ! '  they  cried  ; 
'  Fabian  is  our  appointed  guide  ! ' 


2  6  ST.    FABIAN. 

"Whence  came  that  holy  Bird  ?  and  where 
Her  tarriance  and  her  bowers  ? 

Do  winter's  footsteps  wander  there, 
To  dream  of  summer  flowers  ? 

Or  is  there  not  beneath  her  wing 

The  glory  of  eternal  spring  ? 

Was  it  the  Patriarch's  Dove,  which  flew 

(So  bygone  legends  tell) 
To  Eden's  groves  of  radiant  hue. 

Where  angel-warders  dwell, 
And  shared  with  them  that  hidden  shore, 
A  deathless  Bird  for  evermore  ? 

Or  was  it  thou  with  mystic  flight 

Bethabara's  bird  divine. 
Filled  yet  again  with  God's  own  light, 

The  Spirit's  breathing  sign ; 
Thy  silver  wings  of  heavenly  mould. 
Thy  feathers  swift  of  living  gold  ? 


ST.    FABIAN.  27 

I  know  not ;  but  whene'er  I  see 

A  lone,  swift-darting  Dove, 
St.  Fabian's  vision  carries  me 

In  thought  to  Eden's  grove ; 
And  sure  I  am  that,  come  what  will. 
The  Bird  of  Heaven  is  with  us  still. 


LIFT  UP  YOUR  HEARTS. 


What  though  yon  traveller's  upward  path  be  steep, 
And  far  away  the  long-sought  mountain-crest ! 
What  though  at  times  he  fain  would  halt  and  rest, 
Heedless  of  coming  night  and  slumber  deep  ! 
One  downward  glance  on  dreary  wilds  o'erpassed, 
Where  now  the  mist  of  night  begins  to  spread  ; 
One  upward  gaze  upon  that  radiance  cast, 
Around  his  home  that  crowns  the  mountain's  head ; 
And  lo  !  he  mounts  with  swifter,  firmer  tread. 
So  let  the  pilgrim  Church  look  back  and  see 
Her  toilsome  path  of  victory  through  the  past, 
So  let  her  mark  her  glorious  destiny ; — 
Then  on  with  surer  faith  rejoicing  run, 
Till  all  the  kingdoms  of  the  earth  are  won. 


FIGHT  THE  GOOD  FIGHT  OF  FAITH. 


W  HY  sit  ye  thus,  ye  craven  souls, 

Beneath  the  greenwood  tree  ? 
Is  this  a  timefor  Hstless  ease 

Or  wanton  revelry  ? 
Hark  !  hear  ye  not  the  trumpet-call, 

The  boding  battle-cry  ? 
Behold  the  armies  of  your  God  ! 

His  chariot  draweth  nigh. 

Arise  and  gird  yourselves  for  war, 
Count  all  beside  but  loss, 

Ye  who  are  reckoned  Christian  men. 
And  soldiers  of  the  Cross  ! 


30      FIGHT    THE    GOOD    FIGHT    OF    FAITH. 

The  foemen  of  your  King  are  strong, 

And  eager  in  the  fight ; 
Up  !  join  His  banner,  quit  yourselves 

Like  faithful  men  of  might  ! 


Not  alien  hosts  of  earth  alone 

Uplift  the  rebel  hand  ; 
Amidst  their  ranks,  with  sword  and  spear, 

The  powers  of  darkness  stand. 
Yet  fear  ye  not,  for  mightier  forms 

Amongst  the  faithful  glide, 
E'en  such  as  gathered  round  the  seer 

Who  humbled  Syria's  pride. 

Soon  must  the  fiery  warfare  cease. 

For  eventide  is  nigh  ; 
Soon  shall  the  last  loud  trumpet  wake 

The  song  of  victory  ; 
The  Lord  of  Hosts  o'er  earth  and  hell 

Omnipotent  shall  reign ;' 


FIGHT    THE    GOOD    FIGHT    OF    FAITH.  3 1 


E'en  now  His  coming  glory  beams 
Along  the  battle-plain. 

Then  everlasting  joy  to  those 

Who  tpil  and  struggle  well ; 
But  woe  to  them  who  shall  be  found 

Amongst  the  ranks  of  hell ; 
And  deeper  woe  to  all  who  bear 

The  Christian  panoply, 
Yet  do  not  fight,  but  lie  at  ease 

Beneath  the  greenwood  tree. 


THE    SKERRY    OP    SHRIEKS. 


A    NORWEGIAN    LEGEND. 


IvOUND  a  rock  on  Norway's  shore 
There  is  wailing  evermore — 
Low  and  plaintive  when  the  deep 
Sings  his  chafing  waves  to  sleep ; 
But  in  strife  of  tempest  fell, 
Thrilling  as  the  shrieks  of  hell. 


'O 


Warlocks,  bound  in  durance  there, 
Doom  of  living  torment  bear, 
Who  to  good  King  Olaf  came, 
Wrapped  in  storm,  and  sleet,  and  flame, 
Wielding  sword,  and  Avorking  spell, 
Norway's  holy  King  to  quell. 


THE    SKERRY    OF    SHRIEKS.  2>3 

Panic  through  the  Northmen  ran, 
When  the  fiery  strife  began  ; 
And  the  lightning's  burning  glow 
Winged  the  falchions  of  their  foe  ; 
Till  the  snowy  plain  was  red 
With  the  dying  and  the  dead. 


Onwards,  like  a  sweeping  tide. 
Strode  the  warlocks,  side  by  side  ; 
Norway's  chieftains,  men  of  might. 
Melted,  snowlike,  from  the  fight  ; 
And  the  deadly  axe  did  ring 
On  the  helm  of  Norway's  King. 

Then  rejoiced  the  warlocks  grim, 

For  his  eye  of  fire  grew  dim  ; 

But  he  looked  to  Heaven,  and  prayed 

To  the  Lord  of  Hosts  for  aid  ; 

And  upraised  his  shield,  that  shone 

With  a  silver  cross  thereon. 
c 


THE    SKERRY    OF    SHRIEKS. 

When,  behold  !  there  streamed  a  light 
From  that  cross  of  silver  bright, 
Blazing  o'er  the  battle-plain, 
Like  a  sunset  on  the  main  ; 
And  in  stillness  deep  as  death, 
Each  in  wonder  held  his  breath. 


Steel,  uplifted  for  the  blow. 
Gleamed  unshaken  o'er  the  foe  ; 
Warrior,  writhing  mid  the  slain. 
Gazed,  forgetful  of  his  pain  ; 
Even  eyes  in  death  grew  bright. 
Turning  to  the  wondrous  light ! 

On  the  Pagan  host  it  came 

With  the  burning  breath  of  flame  ; 

And  they  quailed,  and  turned  in  flight. 

Struck  with  everlasting  night, 

O'er  the  plain,  and  down  the  steep, 

Headlong  to  the  surging  deep. 


THE    SKERRY    OF    SHRIEKS.  35 

Then  with  thunder  shook  the  caves, 
Then  uprose  the  bounding  waves, 
'And  with  lion  voices  sung  ; 
Whilst  a  sudden  shriek  was  flung 
To  the  echoes  of  that  shore, 
And  a  wailing  evermore. 


THE  ALLELUIA  VICTORY. 


This  famous  victory  of  the  Britons  over  the  Picts  and  Sa.';ons  is  said  to 
have  been  won  in  Easter  Week,  a.d  430,  near  Mold,  in  Flintshire  ;  and  the 
spot  where  the  armies  met  still  retains  the  name  of  '  Maes  Gannon, '  /.  e.  the 
Field  of  Germanus.  • 


i  WO  hostile  hosts  on  Cambria's  mountain-slopes 
Encamp  at  sunset.     One,  a  Pagan  horde 
From  alien  shores,  unmatched  in  multitude, 
And  veterans  in  war,  who  like  a  pest 
Of  locusts  have  o'erswept  the  land  to  spoil 
And  slay  :  the  other,  helpless  fugitives, 
A  shattered  wreck  of  Britain's  martial  power  ; 
Who,  after  unavailing  war,  have  fled 
Into  these  mountain-gorges  terror-stricken. 
All  night  derisive  shouts  and  wanton  songs 
Rise  from  the  Pagans,  mingled  with  the  wails 
Of  widowed  captives,  and  of  plundered  flocks. 


THE    ALLELUIA    VICTORY.  37 

But  other  sounds  thrill  through  the  midnight  gloom. 

German,  a  dauntless  soldier  of  the  Cross, 

Loving  the  vanquished  Britons,  seeks  their  camp, 

\Vith  weapons  mightier  than  the  mightiest  sword, 

And  bids  them  raise  to  Heaven  the  voice  of  prayer, — 

'  Save,  Jesus,  Conqueror  of  death  and  hell  ! 

Victorious  Lord  of  Hosts,  deliver  us ! ' 

Such  is  their  cry  through  all  the  weary  night  ; 

And  rising  from  their  knees  at  earliest  dawn 

To  meet  the  advancing  foe,  they  shout  in  concert, 

'  Alleluia  ! '    Every  voice  rings  out 

This  battle-cry,  and  from  the  vales  below 

The  shout  is  answered  ;  babbling  streams  respond 

With  silvery  voices  ;  yawning  dens  and  caves 

Thunder  out  '  Alleluia  ! '  distant  cliffs  catch  up 

The  strain,  and  murmur  '  Alleluia  ! ' 

Far  up  the  mountain-sides  the  word  is  echoed  ; 

Forest  and  crag,  as  with  a  thousand  tongues, 

Cry  '  Alleluia  ! '  every  mountain-peak 

Repeats  in  tones  celestial  '  Alleluia  ! ' 

And  heaven  itself  prolongs  the  heavenly  strain.

Awe-Struck,  the  Pagans  turn  in  headlong  flight, 

As  fled  of  old  from  Gideon's  chosen  band 

The  hosts  of  Midian.     Down  the  rocky  slope 

In  wild  dismay  they  surge  ;  and  at  the  base 

A  mountain  torrent,  which  they  madly  strive 

To  ford,  clasps  them  like  autumn  leaves,  smites  them 

Exultingly,  and  sweeps  them  to  the  sea. 

So  evermore  Thy  foes  have  quailed,  O  Lord  ! 

When  in  extremest  peril  thine  elect. 

Trusting  in  Thee  alone,  have  raised  to  heaven 

The  cry  of  faith  and  prayer  ! 


LINES 
ON   THE   CREW   OF  THE    fCALEDONIA,' 

WAo  were  shipiwecked  on  the  Coast  of  Monvenstozu  in  the 
night-storm  of  September  S,tk,  1842. 


i  HEY  looked  in  dismay  to  the  shore, 
As  they  shot  through  the  blackness  of  night ; 

And  before  them,  on  cliffs  that  re-echoed  the  roar. 
The  billows  dashed  foaming  and  white  : 

They  quailed  as  they  saw  that  Death's  terrors  were 
there, 

And  clung  to  the  mast  with  the  grasp  of  despair. 

They  were  hurled  by  the  wind  to  their  graves. 
As  though  storming  the  door  of  that  home  ; 


40   ON  THE  CREW  OF  THE  '  CALEDONIA.' 

They  were  dragged  by  waves  harnessed  Uke  horses  to 

waves, 
Whose  manes  were  white  banners  of  foam  ; 
Whilst  voices  of  strife  to  a  wild  dirge  were  strung, 
And  loud  the  death-wail  of  the  mariners  rung. 

But  mourn  not  those  moments  of  pain  ! 

Those  terrors  which  hung  on  a  breath  ! 
For  the  tempest-worn  rocks  and  the  billo^vy  main 

Grew  smooth  as  a  pillow  in  death  ; 
And  the  surges  that  swept  them  to  die  on  that  shore, 
Were  chariots  that  bore  them  to  rest  evermore  !  * 


*  One  only  of  the  crew  of  nine  men  escaped  death.  He  was  thrown  on  a 
ledge  of  rock,  and  scrambled  up  a  precipice  so  steep  and  rugged  that  no 
human  being  would  have  attempted  to  climb  it  in  broad  daylight.  I  found 
him,  a  few  hours  after  the  wreck,  speechless  and  covered  with  bruises,  in  a 
gully  a  quarter  of  a  mile  from  the  sea,  and  had  him  conveyed  on  a  stretcher 
to  my  father's  house,  where  he  was  tenderly  nursed  for  several  weeks. 


THE  DYING  BUSH-GIRL'S  PRAYER. 

The  following  narrative  was  in  substance  given  to  the  writer  by  Bishop 
Callaway,  of  an  African  child  who  died  in  this  country  in  1S74,  aged  twelve 
years.  She  was  entrusted  to  the  Bishop  by  a  Natal  magistrate  a  few  years 
before,  having  been  captured  by  some  Kaffirs  from  a  horde  of  Bushmen,  in 
a  foray  for  the  recovery  of  stolen  cattle.  '  When  she  first  came  to  .Spring- 
vale,'  .said  the  Bishop,  '  she  was  as  wild  as  any  wild  animal  ;  but  she 
soon  became  humanised,  learned  to  talk  the  Zulu  language,  and  to  read, 
write,  and  sew.  She  came  to  England  with  us,  learned  to  speak  English, 
went  to  school,  and  was  a  favourite  with  everybody  who  knew  her.' 


'  I  LONG  for  home  !  O  take  me  home  ! ' 

Such  was  the  maiden's  cry, 
As  slowly  ebbed  her  life  away 

Beneath  our  northern  sky. 
'  I  hear  a  voice  which  calls  me  hence, 

I  feel  a  guiding  hand ; 
Oh,  let  me  speed  across  the  sea 

To  my  own  fatherland  ! ' 


42         THE    DYING    BUSH-GIRLS    PRAYER. 

'  My  child  ! '  her  loving  friends  replied, 

'  God  orders  what  is  best ; 
He  gives  you  here  a  better  home, 

And  bids  you  be  at  rest. 
You  may  not  cross  the  sea  again, 

But  Jesus,  in  His  love. 
Will  lead  you  hence  by  angel  hands 

To  brighter  worlds  above.' 

In  knowledge  weak,  to  Paradise 

Her  thoughts  could  not  ascend  ; 
But  strong  in  faith,  she  spoke  to  God 

As  to  a  present  friend. 
Sure  of  His  love,  she  doubted  not 

The  boon  she  sought  would  come, 
As  still  unceasingly  she  prayed, 

'  My  Father,  take  me  home  ! ' 

And  when  she  died,  with  beaming  face. 
She  grasped  each  friendly  hand, 


THE    DYING    BUSH-GIRLS    PRAYER.         43 

And  whispered,  '  I  am  going  home 

To  Afric's  sunny  land.' 
She  asked  for  life  on  earth,  God  gave 

Her  life  for  evermore  ; 
She  asked  for  home,  and  home  was  given 

On  God's  celestial  shore. 


A    WINTER'S    SONG. 


1  SAW  a  blackbird,  when  the  piercing  sting 

Of  sudden  frost  was  withering  autumn  flowers, 

Look  to  the  languid  sun,  and  sweetly  sing 

A  melody  that  breathed  of  springtide  hours. 

The  leaves  were  falling  round  him,  and  the  wind 

Sobbed  through  the  forest,  but  his  placid  mind, 

Heedless  of  woe  that  wintry  days  might  bring, 

Seemed  to  rejoice  in  dreams  of  leafy  bowers. 

1  longed  to  karn  that  happy  minstrel's  lay, 

I  loved  it  better  far  than  summer  songs  ; 

From  higher  thoughts  it  thrilled  its  heavenward  way, 

Than  aught  which  to  my  faltering  heart  belongs  ; 

For  whilst  I  mourn  or  mope  in  days  of  sadness. 

That  minstrel  looks  to  heaven,  and  sings  with  gladness. 


AT     EVENING-TIME    IT    SHALL 
BE    L  I  G  H  T I 


XJARK  is  the  path  the  Church  has  trod, 

And  dark  the  path  before  her, 
And  storms  sweep  through  the  Hght  of  God, 

Whene'er  it  brightens  o'er  her. 
The  powers  of  earth  and  hell  combine 
To  dim  and  quench  her  life  divine. 

Yet,  strong  in  faith,  she  toils  along 

Her  pathway  dark  and  gory. 
Weaving  her  griefs  into  a  song 

Of  coming  joy  and  glory  ; 
And  chanting  aye  the  promise  bright, 
'  At  evening-time  it  shall  be  light.' 


THE    LIVING    WAY. 

'  Jt'sus  said,  I  am  the  Way.' 


A  RUGGED  wild  before  me  lies, 
Pathless,  and  filled  with  raging  foes ; 
INIisleading  phantoms  o'er  it  rise, 
And  twilight  shadows  round  me  close ; 
But,  hark  !  I  hear  my  Saviour  say, 
'  Fear  not,  nor  faint !  I  am  the  Way  ! ' 

O  Jesus  !  Thou  hast  crossed  this  wild. 
Victorious  in  the  might  of  GOD, 
And  Thou  canst  lead  Thy  helpless  child 
Safe  by  the  path  which  Thou  hast  trod. 
O  loving  Jesus,  be  my  guide. 
And  let  me  in  Thy  presence  hide. 


THE    LIVING    WAY. 

Safe  in  the  shelter  of  Thy  love, 
Strong  in  the  valour  of  Thy  hand, 
Tight  streams  upon  me  from  above, 
And  angel-warders  round  me  stand. 
Why  should  I  fear  or  go  astray, 
When  Thou,  my  Saviour,  art  the  Way  ? 

All  that  I  need  Thou  dost  provide. 
And  all  Thy  mighty  power  is  mine  ; 
Foes  cannot  tear  Thee  from  my  side, 
Hell  cannot  quench  Thy  love  divine ; 
O  let  me  never  faint  nor  roam, 
But  in  Thy  mercy  lead  me  home !

ST.    MALO    AND    THE    ROBIN. 


A  ROBIN  having  lost  her  nest  one  day, 
Spied  on  the  ground  St.  Malo's  coat,  and  lay 
An  egg  thereon,  then  watched  in  anxious  fear 
The  Saint,  with  spade  in  hand,  approaching  near. 

The  shelter  of  his  coat  he  needed  sore, 
For  toil  was  over,  and  along  the  shore. 
Where  lay  the  pathway  to  his  lonely  cell, 
Chill  fogs  at  eventide  were  wont  to  dwell. 

But  when  he  saw  the  parent  songster's  care, 
He  hastened  by,  and  left  his  garment  there ; 
Content  to  suffer  cold,  or  loss,  or  wrong. 
Till  the  confiding  bird  had  hatched  her  young. 


ST.    MALO    AND    THE    ROBIN.  49 

His  gentle  deed  was  registered  on  high 
By  Him  who  hears  the  ravens  when  they  cry ; 
And  in  the  courts  of  heaven  St.  Malo's  name 
Won  by  that  act  of  love  undying  fame. 


THE     BARD'S     LAMENT. 

Paraphntsed  from  a  prose  translation  of  the  Arabian  poet  Lebe'id. 


1  HE  lordly  halls  are  desolate,  the  bowers  of  Niniia 

gone, 
Where  erst  I  saw  the  fair  ones  glide,  where  stars  of 

beauty  shone  ; 
Wild  are  the  bosky  hills  of  Goul,  and  Rijaam  stands 

forlorn, 
While  floods  have  smoothed  the  streamlet's  path,  like 

graven  rocks  timeworn. 

Ah  !  many  a  weary  month  has  passed  since  vows  were 

plighted  here  : 
And  many  a  spring  has  tap'stried  o'er  these  ruins  lone 

and  drear ; 


THE    BARDS    LAMENT.  5 1 

The  pitying  thunder  oft  has  moaned  above  the  cheer- 
less scene ; 

And  morn  and  evening  bathed  with  tears  yon  moun- 
tain's robe  of  green. 

Lo  !  briars  crest  the  battlements,  and  thistles  proudly 

grow, 
And  down  the  valley  with  her  fawn  unheeded  stalks 

the  doe ; 
Here  forest  kine  securely  teach  their  bleating  calves  to 

roam, 
And   there  the  ostrich  hides  her  eggs,  and  finds  a 

sheltering  home. 

In  vain,  alas  !  I  linger  here,  in  vain  my  wailings  rise  ! 
The  voices  that  I  seek  are  mute,  and  echo  mocks  my 

cries  ; 
A  rugged  waste  is  all  I  find,  where  stars  of  beauty 

shone — 
The  lordly  halls  are  desolate,  the  bowers  of  Nimia 

gone. 


THE    LAMBOURNE    RIVER. 

This  stream,  which  rises  at  the  base  of  the  chalk  hills  in  Berkshire,  where 
in  dry  seasons  there  is  sometimes  great  scarcity  of  water,  is  wont  to  flow 
abundantly  in  the  summer  and  autumn  months,  however  scanty  the  rainfall 
may  be. 


i  HE  summer  sun  has  scorched  the  hills, 

And  upland  springs  are  dry  ; 
But  Lambourne  stream  its  channel  fills, 

And  flow's  most  copiously. 
Its  tributary  brooks  are  gone, 
Yet  full  and  wide  that  stream  flows  on. 

The  fickle  clouds  withhold  their  store, 
All  shallow  wells  have  ceased  ; 

Still  down  the  vale  its  waters  pour, 
Unfed,  but  yet  increased ; 

And  pastures  on  its  banks  abound. 

Though  parching  drought  reigns  all  around. 


THE    LAMBOURNE    RIVER. 

Hark  !  how  the  grateful  insects  sing 

That  throng  its  willow  bowers  ! 
What  anthems  of  rejoicing  ring 
Among  its  flags  and  flowers  ! 
How  merrily  the  children  play- 
Where  yonder  babbling  shallows  stray  ! 

Lo  !  fainting  flocks  with  transport  skip 

To  gain  the  river's  side  ; 
And  pilgrim  swallows  love  to  dip 

Their  plumage  in  its  tide  ; 
And  cattle  find  their  sweetest  rest 
Beneath  the  trees  that  shade  its  breast. 


Deep  in  the  hills  its  storehouse  lies, 
And,  fed  by  God's  own  hand, 

It  hoards  the  rain  of  other  skies, 
To  glad  our  thirsty  land  ; 

And  earth  has  not  a  purer  thing 

Than  the  bright  waters  of  its  spring. 


53 


54  THE    LAMBOURNE    RIVER. 

So  Avhen  the  joys  of  life  are  low, 
And  earthly  pleasures  wither, 

God's  choicest  gifts  most  richly  flow, 
And  shall  flow  on  for  ever ; 

No  rainless  sky,  no  scorching  day, 

The  well-spring  of  His  love  can  stay. 


AUSTRALIA. 


OEA-GIRT  Australia  !  wild  majestic  land  ! 

World  of  the  vast,  the  wonderful,  the  grand  ! 

What  though  we  cannot  sing  thy  deeds  of  fame, 

Nor  trace  in  storied  chronicles  thy  name ! 

Though  darkness  shrouds  thy  birth,  and  memory's  rajs 

Can  flash  no  light  upon  thine  ancient  days. 

Yet  living  glories  to  thy  shores  belong, 

Worthy  of  pilgrim's  feet  and  poet's  song  • 

For  thou  art  clothed  in  nature's  virgin  guise, 

Sunned  by  the  rosy  light  of  eastern  skies, 

Cheered  with  rejoicing  streams  and  copious  showers, 

Robed  with  wide  forests  ;  tapestried  with  flowers, 

And  English  manhood  streams  across  the  sea, 

To  reproduce  Old  England's  life  in  thee. 


56  AUSTRALIA. 

Within  thy  wondrous  bound  the  Maker's  hand 
Has  placed  a  counterpart  of  every  land — 
Lo  !  in  the  distance,  'neath  Italian  skies, 
Wild  Cambria's  hills  and  Alpine  mountain  rise  ! 
Behold  America's  wide  lakes  and  woods. 
Mingled  with  barren  Syria's  solitudes  ! 
See  yon  white  line  of  cliffs,  such  as  of  yore 
The  invading  Roman  saw  on  Britain's  shore  ! 
And  such  uncultured  plains  as  shepherds  trod. 
When  there  were  giants  in  the  land  of  God. 

Here  to  those  desert  wastes,  where  sun  and  rain, 
Through  ages  past,  have  poured  their  wealth  in  vain, 
There  comes  to  plow,  and  sow  with  toil-worn  hand, 
Impelled  by  poverty,  a  peasant  band. 
Anon  vast  flocks  and  herds  the  plains  adorn, 
And  fertile  vales  grow  bright  with  golden  corn ; 
Wide  rivers  through  luxuriant  pastures  shine, 
With  Eucalyptus  fringed,  and  towering  pine ; 
And  homesteads  rise,  each  bearing  some  dear  name 
Of  the  far  country  whence  its  owner  came. 


AUSTRALIA.  57 

Here  too  are  men  of  features  stern  and  rude, 
Lords  by  their  birthright  of  this  solitude, 
Who  Uve  and  die  unconscious  as  the  sod 
That  into  man  was  breathed  the  breath  of  God. 
Wild  as  their  kangaroos,  they  idly  roam 
The  pathless  mazes  of  their  forest  home  ; 
Now  pealing  through  the  vales,  in  savage  glee, 
The  yell  of  triumph  or  of  revelry  ; 
Now  racked  by  hunger,  prowling  wide  and  far 
To  hunt  the  emu  and  the  fleet  bondar.* 
No  cheering  ray  of  mental  radiance  gleams 
Upon  their  stormy  souls,  no  gladsome  dreams 
Of  future  bliss,  no  consciousness  of  life 
Beyond  the  fleeting  scene  of  nature's  strife  ; 
Past,  Present,  Future,  all  to  them  is  gloom, 
Devoid  of  hope,  and  cheerless  as  the  tomb. 
Poor  outcast  sons  of  ignorance  and  woe, 
For  them  the  tear  of  pity  oft  should  flow ; 
Compelled  to  fly  to  deeper  solitude, 

*  The  name  by  which  the  aborigines  designate  the  kangaroo. 


58  AUSTRALIA. 

When  strangers  on  their  heritage  intrude ; 
And  there,  as  exiles  from  their  country  torn, 
To  pine,  despised,  dejected,  and  forlorn. 


Yet  we  to  whom  the  awful  power  is  given 
Of  making  hopeless  sinners  heirs  of  heaven. 
Could  raise  these  weakest  children  of  our  race 
To  take  among  the  sons  of  God  their  place. 
Then,  where  is  wont  to  ring  the  war-whoop's  yell. 
The  calm  of  heavenly  love  and  peace  would  dwell ; 
And  sweetly  from  their  native  vales  would  rise 
The  voice  of  praise,  as  incense  to  the  skies. 


Where  Lachlan's  winding  torrent  rolls  along. 
Is  heard  the  cadence  of  the  shepherd's  song  ; 
On  smooth  Macquarrie's  banks,  in  Darling's  glades, 
Sullen  and  dark  with  palm  and  myrtle  shades. 
And  where  majestic  Murray's  waters  leap 
With  bounding  steps  towards  the  mighty  deep, 


AUSTRALIA.  59 

The  hand  of  culture  decks  full  many  a  scene 
With  flocks,  and  waving  corn,  and  meadows  green. 

Along  the  shores  Trade's  fearless  wings  expand, 
And  bear  Australia's  boons  to  every  land  : 
From  many  a  bay  the  freighted  vessel  hies, 
Where  busy  marts  and  youthful  cities  rise, 
As  rose  of  old  the  wealthiest  that  have  been, 
Carthage,  and  haughty  Tyre,  the  merchant  queen. 

Daughter  of  promise,  queenly  land,  rejoice  ! 
Let  thy  wild  woods  lift  up  a  gladsome  voice  ! 
Thy  streams  awaken  as  they  glide  along 
Their  murmuring  cadence  to  a  joyous  song  ! 
For  lustre  gathers  round  thy  youthful  brow, 
And  glory  suns  thy  morning  even  now. 
It  needeth  not  a  prophet's  glance  to  see 
The  bursting  germ  of  regal  strength  in  thee  ; 
Which  soon  with  giant  energy  shall  rise. 
Vast  as  thy  shores,  and  glorious  as  thy  skies  ! 
Harvests  shall  clothe  with  beauty  all  thy  vales, 


6o  AUSTRALIA. 

And  social  gladness  float  upon  the  gales ; 

Tower  and  turret  crown  the  mountain  crest, 

Where  now  the  eagle  peacefully  may  rest  ; 

And  village  spires,  to  heaven  directing,  tell 

That  faithful  English  hearts  within  thy  bosom  dwell. 


THE     PATH    OF    LIGHT. 


riAST  thou  not  marked  a  sunset  stream 
Of  light  across  the  ocean  gleam, 
Joining,  as  with  a  jewelled  band, 
This  earthly  with  the  heavenly  land  ? 

Hast  thou  not  dreamt  that  angels'  feet 
Glance  lightly  o'er  that  golden  street, 
Trailing  God's  glory  as  they  glide 
To  pave  with  gems  the  restless  tide  ? 

So  o'er  the  flood  of  time  there  lies 
A  path  of  radiance  to  the  skies, 
Bridging  the  gulf  from  earth's  dark  shore 
To  Zion's  gate,  for  evermore. 


62  THE    PATH    OF    LIGHT. 

Christ  spread  that  heavenly  road,  and  trod 
With  human  feet  its  course  to  God  ; 
That  we,  when  earthly  joys  grow  dim, 
Heaven's  bliss  may  gain  by  tracking  Him. 

The  blindest  pilgrim  need  not  stray, 
For  angels  guard  the  narrow  way ; 
And  Christ  Himself,  in  love  and  might. 
Upholds  us  in  that  path  of  light. 


FRAGMENTS  PROM  CADWAL 
AND  CARADOC. 

An  Unpublished  Poem,  lurittcn  in   Youth. 


1  HE  shades  of  night  their  wings  outspread 

From  the  rising  dawn  to  fly, 
And  the  sun  mounts  up  from  his  cloudy  bed 

On  the  edge  of  the  eastern  sky. 
Sweet  songsters  wake  in  the  leafy  bowers, 
Bright  dewdrops  gem  the  lustrous  flowers  ; 
Tufts  of  grey  lichen  on  the  rocks 
Shine  forth  like  silver  fairy-locks, 
And  gorse  that  crowns  each  rugged  height 
Is  kindled  into  golden  light. 
Such  is  the  lovely  scene  that  lies 
Before  the  Christian  captive's  eyes. 


64  FRAGMENTS    FROM 

What  time  the  Druids  wend  their  way 
Up  the  steep  slopes  of  stern  Karn  Brae, 
Chanting  in  unison  this  strain, 
And  followed  by  an  armed  train  : — - 

Come,  mighty  Belus  !  come 

Down  from  thy  dazzling  home. 
That  sweeps  triumphantly  along  the  sky  ! 

Come  from  thy  starry  land, 

Where  winged  spirits  stand, 

A  bright  unnumbered  band, 
Whowait  thy  high  behest  to  spread  theirwings  and  fly. 

Accept  our  sacrifice. 

The  smoke  of  which  shall  rise 
As  incense  to  thy  dwellings  of  delight. 

And  from  the  fount  of  bliss, 

In  streams  of  happiness, 
Let  blessings  now  descend  with  thy  refulgent  light. 

Forth  from  the  bowers  on  high 
Thy  beams  of  glory  fly, 
And  fill  the  vaulted  sky.

And  on  the  teeming  earth  in  beauty  rest ; 

And  on  the  desert  sea 

They  sparkle  gloriously, 
And  robe  like  angel  smiles  the  bounding  billows' 
breast. 

Earth  lifts  her  voice  to  sincr 

o 

Thy  praise,  Eternal  King, 

And  hills  and  valleys  ring 
With  the  exultance  of  our  joyous  song. 

Come  !  mighty  Belus,  come 

Down  from  thy  dazzling  home, 
And  see  the  victim  bleed,  and  bless  thy  waiting 
throng. 


Strange  figures  of  unearthly  cast 
Before  the  holy  seers  have  passed. 
And  sounds  of  Avoe  have  followed  them

Scare  them  at  midnight  from  their  bed. 
Oft  in  the  grove  the  old  oaks  wave 
Their  branches,  as  when  tempests  rave, 
Though  topmost  leaves  feel  not  a  breath, 
And  all  around  is  still  as  death. 
The  shady  hours  of  eventide 
In  soothing  silence  cease  to  glide ; 
For  with  the  darkness  whirlwinds  rise, 
Or  ocean  dims  with  foam  the  skies, 
Or  breezes,  as  they  sweep  along, 
To  moanings  change  their  wonted  song  ;- 
Such  are  the  signs  of  wrath  that  flow 
Before  the  mountain  waves  of  woe. 
.  .  •  •  • 

My  hope  is  fixed,  my  trust  is  strong 
In  Him  who  rolls  the  stars  along ; 
Who  reigns  wherever  thought  can  fly. 
Supreme  in  heaven,  and  earth,  and  sky ; 
Who  bids  revolving  seasons  be, 
And  graspeth  dread  eternity. 
He  placed  the  shining  orbs  on  high. 


CADWAL    AND    CARADOC.  67 

The  silent  pilgrims  of  the  sky  ; 
He  formed  the  universe  so  vast, 
And  man  to  live  when  earth  is  past ; 
He  made  him  ruler  of  the  sod, 
He  gave  him  powers  to  serve  his  God  ; 
And  when  to  sin  and  death  he  fell. 
His  blood  redeemed  the  race  from  hell. 
He  is  my  guide,  my  fortress  strong. 
My  shield,  my  refuge,  and  my  song ; 
And  though  fierce  hate  and  vengeful  ire 
Pursue  me  like  consuming  fire. 
My  soul,  with  calm  and  comfort  blest. 
Shall  look  to  Him,  and  be  at  rest. 


Alas,  my  soul  !  thy  fairest  hopes  have  perished 
Like  roses  born  to  wither  in  the  blight ; 
All  the  glad  visions  thou  hast  fondly  cherished 
Have  set  in  darkness  blacker  than  the  night. 
And  thou  art  doomed  in  loneliness  to  languish, 
And  evermore  a  secret  grief  to  bear, 


68  FRAGMEi\TS  FROM  CADWAL,  ETC. 

Without  one  human  friend  to  soothe  thine  anguish, 
Stung  with  the  fiery  frenzy  of  despair. 

There  is  no  rest  for  me,  an  exile,  flying 
From  death,  to  die  upon  the  stormy  wave  ; 
The  darkness  of  despair,  the  voice  of  sighing, 
Shall  fill  my  lonely  pathway  to  the  grave. 

Glide  swiftly  on,  my  bark  !  no  human  dwelling 
Shall  stem  thy  course  upon  the  plains  of  foam ; 
Where  boundless  waves  eternally  are  swelling, 
O'er  Ocean's  awful  deserts  thou  shalt  roam. 

God  of  the  winds  and  waters.  Whose  dominions 
Enshroud  on  every  side  the  mighty  deep  ; 
Who  ridest  on  the  whirlwind's  swarthy  pinions. 
And  reignest  where  the  gentle  breezes  sleep  ; 

Be  Thou  my  refuge,  as  in  days  departed  ; 
Be  Thou  my  shield  till  life  and  sorrow  cease ; 
And  when  I  perish,  faint  and  broken-hearted, 
O  guide  my  wave-worn  soul  to  shores  of  peace. 


THE    DEATH    OF   ST.    COLUMBA. 


It  was  the  hour  of  sunset,  and  the  time 

Signalled  by  angels,  when  lona's  saint 

Should  pass  from  earthly  toil  to  heavenly  rest. 

A  presage  of  his  end  weighed  heavily 

On  every  heart,  and  hastening  from  their  tasks 

In  field  and  barn  and  school,  where  patiently 

Each  in  his  office  had  been  serving  God, 

The  monks  assembled  on  the  pebbly  shore 

To  wait  for  Diarmid,  expected  soon 

With  tidings  of  their  father  resting  there. 

Each  read  his  sorrow  on  the  brows  of  all. 

And  as  the  purple  gloom  of  evening  rose, 

Quenching  the  golden  ray  that  crowned  Ben  More, 

All  nature  seemed  to  throb  responsively. 


70  THE    DEATH    OF    ST.    COLUMBA. 

Sunset  was  limned  with  images  of  deatli, 
Fading  from  earth,  but  brightening  in  the  sky ; 
Voices  of  ocean  chanted  requiems, 
Shadows  of  twiHght  fell  like  funeral-palls. 
And  sea-birds  shrieked  as  though  they  mourned  the 
dead. 

Anon  came  Diarmid,  on  whose  strong  arm 
The  saint  was  wont  to  lean,  and  thus  he  spake  : 
'  Angels  have  long  been  tarrying  on  our  shores 
To  lead  our  father  home.     Seven  days  ago 
A  brother  followed  him  to  Machar's  plain, 
Whither  he  went  for  solitude  and  prayer, 
And  saw  a  shining  host  encircling  him. 
Clothed  in  apparel  brighter  than  the  sun  • 
And  yesternight  their  presence  filled  his  cell 
With  heavenly  light,  which  shot  like  streams  of  fire 
From  every  chink,  brightening  the  mountain-tops, 
And  shimmering  o'er  the  sea.     To-day  at  noon 
He  bade  me  lead  him  up  the  rocky  hill, 
That  he  might  see  once  more  the  cloud-capped  peaks.

THE    DEATH    OF    ST.    COLUMBA.  7 1 

Dark  glens,  and  silvery  streaks  of  loch  and  bay, 
On  which  his  eyes  so  oft  had  loved  to  dwell. 
Soon  waxing  faint,  he  paused  to  rest  awhile 
Beneath  the  wayside  cross,  when  lo  !  his  steed. 
Feeble  and  grey  with  age,  drew  near.     The  saint 
Arose  to  greet  him  with  a  fond  embrace. 
And  the  dumb  creature  lovingly  returned 
His  sympathy,  brimming  his  eyes  with  tears. 
Resting  his  head  upon  his  master's  neck. 
And  breathing,  though  with  voiceless  utterance. 
The  tenderest  spirit  of  the  word.  Farewell. 

'  Then  climbing  to  the  peak,  the  holy  man 
Invoked  God's  smile  on  mountain,  sea,  and  shore, 
Man,  beast,  and  bird,  church,  school,  and  granary ; 
And  spoke,  with  outstretched  hands,  this  prophecy  : 
"  The  days  shall  come  when  saints  from  distant  lands 
Shall  flock  with  reverence  here  ;  kings  too  shall  seek 
This  shore  with  gifts,  to  honour  God,  and  kneel 
Beside  our  graves." 


72  THE    DEATH    OF    ST.    COLUMBA. 

'  Thence  to  his  cell  we  came 
With  pausing  steps,  and  there  the  weary  saint, 
Reclining  on  his  couch  of  stone,  breathed  forth 
His  dying  counsel,  gently  bidding  me 
"  Be  true  to  Christ  in  faith  and  fellowship,— 
True  to  His  Church  in  humbleness  and  zeal, — 
True  to  life's  daily  task,  whate'er  it  be, — 
True  to  God's  utterance  within  the  soul, — 
Patient  of  injury,  and  kind  to  all.' 
Then,  as  he  willed  to  be  alone  wdth  God, 
He  bade  me  leave  him,  and  the  cell  was  filled, 
Ere  I  had  passed  the  door,  with  Heaven's  own  light.' 

So  spake  the  monk,  and  all  in  silent  awe 
Withdrew,  to  strengthen  by  the  might  of  prayer 
The  saint's  departing  soul. 

At  early  mom, 
With  the  first  gleam  of  dawn,  the  matin  bell 
Rang  out  its  call,  when  lo  1  the  dying  saint, 
Ever  obedient  to  its  summons,  rose, 


THE    DEATH    OF    ST.    COLUMBA.  7; 

Heedless  of  pain  and  death,  to  seek  the  spot 
Where  he  was  wont  to  kneel.     There  on  the  floor, 
Prostrate  before  the  altar,  he  was  found  ; 
And  when  they  raised  him,  bliss  ineffable 
Was  beaming  on  his  face,  and  with  a  smile 
He  raised  his  hands  to  bless,  and  passed  away.

11  IS  calm  and  peaceful  life  has  closed,  but  not 
The  memory  of  his  deeds.     Death  cannot  dim 
Its  brightness.     Men  will  honour  him 
Alike  in  lordly  hall  and  lowly  cot, 
But  chiefest  in  the  home  of  homeless  poor. 
Where  he  was  wont  to  toil,  and  evermore 
To  lavish  sympathy  and  unrequited  care. 
His  generous  hand  and  heart  we  ill  can  spare. 
For  few  among  his  peers  can  match  the  zeal 
With  which  in  duty's  path  he  bravely  trod  ; 
And  fewer  still  subserve  the  public  weal 
With  his  true  love  for  man,  and  faith  in  God. 
He  sought  not  honour,  wooed  not  worldly  fame  ; 
A  life  of  goodness  wreaths  a  halo  round  his  name.

riATH  the  sea  life  and  knowledge?  doth  there  roll 

Deep  in  the  breast  of  waves  a  conscious  soul  ? 

Is  there  a  spirit  in  the  storm  that  thrills 

The  mountain-heart  of  the  eternal  hills  ? 

Do  the  wunds  sigh  with  sorrow  ?  and  their  moan, 

Is  it  some  voice  that  glides  and  breathes  alone  ? 

Is  woe  upon  the  rivers  when  they  grieve 

In  mournful  music  round  the  couch  of  eve  ? 

Is  there  a  sense  in  earth  and  air  and  sky 

When  the  brave  falter  and  the  mighty  die  ? 

Forlo  !  around  Clanranald's  lonely  cave 

The  grief  of  many  waters  swells  tlie  wave, 


76  TRINCE    CHARLES    EDWARD 

The  winds  of  night  their  dirge  of  battle  bring 

From  the  lost  field  of  Scotland's  exiled  King, 

And  worn  and  sad,  his  warriors  far  away, 

The  baffled  Stuart  mourns  Culloden  day.* 

His  Highland  hearts  are  hushed — the  strife  is  o'er 

That  shook  the  shield  and  waved  the  good  claymore  ; 

Low  now  is  laid  Glengarry's  trusty  steel. 

And  quenched  the  flashing  brands  of  brave  Lochiel ; 

Murray — Macdonald — Keppoch — coldly  gone, 

And  mute  the  warrior-cry  of  Cameron. 

Dark  was  the  night,  and  thick  with  gloom  the  day, 
Where  sad  and  worn  the  weary  chieftain  lay  ; 
Friends — kinsfolk — warriors  fled,  and  lonely  there 
The  hope  that  lingered  yet  was  half  despair. 
Scant  was  the  boon  he  craved, — that  deep  repose 
For  one  short  hour  might  win  him  from  his  woes  : 
But  slumber  would  not  soothe  his  rocky  bed. 


*  '  The  die  was  risked  and  foully  cast 
Upon  Ciilloden  day.'

Nor  o'er  that  burning  brow  her  solace  shed  ; 

Wakeful  he  lay,  and  heard  the  fretting  gale 

Loud  moaning  o'er  the  braes  of  Corrodale ; 

Now  hailing  mid  the  storm's  unearthly  roar 

The  sorrow  of  his  mighty  sires  of  yore  ;     - 

Now  yearning  to  defy  the  foe  again, 

And  wield  the  sword  of  vengeance  for  the  slaia  ; 

Dreaming  that  Heaven  his  shield  and  strength  would 

be. 
To  weave  once  more  the  wreath  of  victory.* 
But  cease  thy  dreams,  lone  Prince  ;  on  yonder  height. 
Behold  !  unwonted  fires  are  gleaming  bright ! 
And  hark  !  there  echoes  round  yon  ruddy  glow 
The  martial  music  of  th'  unsparing  foe.t 

*  Throughout  his  wanderings,  Charles'  confidence  in  the  protection  of 
Providence  was  remarkable.  In  speaking  of  the  hardships  which  he  had 
undergone  to  one  of  his  companions,  he  said,  '  Since  the  battle  of  Culloden, 
I  have  endured  more  than  would  kill  a  hundred  men  ;  sure  Providence  does 
not  design  this  for  nothing.  I  am  certainly  yet  reserved  for  some  good.' — 
See  Chambers  History  of  the  Rebellion,  p.  io6. 

t  Lord  Mahon  says  there  were  at  this  time  on  the  Long  Island  militia 
and  regular  troops  to  the  number  of  2000  men,  engaged  in  eager  search  for 
the  Prince,  while  the  shores  were  surrounded  by  small  vessels  of  war,  and 
that  concealment  or  escape  must  have  proved  alike  impossible  but  for  Flora 
Macdonald. 


7S  PRINCE    CHARLES    EDWARD 

O'er  mount  and  wave  they  urge  their  noble  prey- 
As  bursts  the  liound  upon  the  stag  at  bay ; 
On  through  the  wild  they  come  with  kindling  eye- 
And  shall  to-morrow  see  the  victim  die  ? 
Ah  no  !  a  star  is  on  the  brow  of  night,' 
From  the  dark  cloud  there  leaps  a  living  light ; 
Hope  shall  again  the  wanderer's  woes  beguile, 
And  pity  live  at  last  in  woman's  smile. 

High-minded  Flora,*  deathless  fame  be  thine. 
Fair  daughter  of  Macdonald's  storied  line  ; 
Strong  was  thy  soul — the  truth  of  man  above — 
And  thy  heart  beat  with  more  than  woman's  love. 
Thee  from  the  hunted  exile's  lonely  side 
Woe  could  not  sever,  nor  could  death  divide. 
Long  as  his  memory  lives  thy  deeds  shall  claim 
The  glorj'  of  a  high  and  noble  name, 


*  '  We  were  entertained  with  the  usual  hospitality  by  Mr.  INIacdonald  and 
his  lady,  Flora  Macdonald,  a  name  that  will  be  mentioned  in  historj-,  and,  if 
courage  and  fidelity  be  virtues,  mentioned  with  honour.  She  is  a.  woman  of 
middle  stature,  soft  features,  gentle  manners,  and  elegant  presence.' — Johti-

And  wreathe  the  rugged  brow  of  war  with  smiles, 

Thou  hero-maiden  of  the  Western  Isles  ! 

Lo  !  o'er  the  deep  they  glide— that  island  inaid, 

And  the  lorn  Prince  in  homely  garb  arrayed  : 

Frail  is  their  bark,  yet  seaward  o'er  the  waves 
That  seek  Benbecula's  resounding  caves. 
They  swiftly  bound,  till,  bright  with  sunset's  smile, 
Behind  them  gleams  the  brow  of  Rona's  isle. 
Yet  seaward  still  the  steadfast  boatmen  sweep. 

For  well  they  know  who  bids  them  brave  the  deep ; 

That  vesture  cannot  veil,*  those  weeds  efface 
His  kingly  bearing,  his  majestic  grace. 
Now  isle  and  headland  fade,  and  shadowy  night 
Frowns  on  the  woful  wanderer's  dreary  flio-ht ; 
Home  to  their  beetling  crag  the  sea-birds  fly, 
And  raise  with  tuneless  shriek  their  boding  cry  ; 


*  '  Bishop  Forbes  informs  us  that  he  more  than  once  heard  MacleocI  speak 
of  the  utter  uselessness  of  the  Prince  attempting  to  dissemble  the  indefinable 
air  which  distinguished  him.  "There  is  not  a  person,"  he  said,  "who  knows 
what  the  air  of  a  noble  or  great  man  is,  but,  upon  seeing  the  Prince  in  any 
disguise  he  could  put  on,  would  see  something  about  him  that  was  not 
ordinary— something  of  the  stately  and  the  grand."  '— Jessr,  Memoirs  of  the 
Pretenders,  vol.  ii.  p.  68. 


So  PRINCE    CHARLES    EDWARD 

While  the  swart  raven  sails  Avith  pinion  slow, 

And  hoarsely  breathes  a  prophet-voice  of  woe  ; 

And  the  deep  thunder  of  the  raging  seas 

Is  echoing  round  the  rocky  Hebrides, 

As  though  lona's  genii,  roused  from  sleep, 

Had  called  the  hosts  of  air  to  war  along  the  deep. 

Yet  hark  !  the  chieftain  chants  in  accents  bold  * 

Some  thrilling  legend  of  the  days  of  old, 

And  breathes  the  strain  those  billowy  paths  along 

As  though  he  soothed  the  waves  of  night  with  song. 

See  now  they  fondly  seek  the  welcome  shore. 

And  deem  their  refuge  won,  their  peril  o'er. 

But  lo  !  the  flash  !  the  sound  !  and  o'er  them  fly 

The  hissing  balls — the  foe,  the  foe  is  nigh  !  + 


*  '  Exposed  is  such  a  vessel  in  the  cold  night  air,  at  the  mercy  of  a  raging 
sea,  and  at  the  same  time  haunted  by  the  fear  of  man's  more  deadly  hostility, 
the  sensations  of  the  little  party  cannot  be  supposed  to  have  been  very  agree- 
able. Charles  could  not  help  perceiving  the  uneasiness  of  his  attendants,  and 
anxious  to  compensate,  by  all  the  means  in  his  power,  for  the  pain  which  he 
had  occasioned  to  them,  he  endeavoured  to  sustain  their  spirits  by  singing 
and  talking.  He  sang  the  lively  old  song  entitled  "  The  Restoration,"  and 
tolda  few  playful  stories,  which  yielded  them  some  amusement.' — Chambers, 
p.  99.

There  on  the  shore  in  grim  array  they  throng, 
And  cave  and  rock  the  volleying  peal  prolong. 

He  fled — but  not  from  woe  ;  full  many  a  day 
Beheld  him  o'er  the  island  deserts  stray 
All  desolate  and  lone,  while  midnight  shed 
Her  pitying  tears  o'er  his  unsheltered  head. 
Famished  and  weary  on  the  shores  of  Skye, 
The  peasants  marked  his  woe  with  softening  eye  ; 
Lone  Raasay's  shepherds  saw  him  rest  awhile 
In  the  deep  valleys  of  their  rugged  isle  ; 
And  round  his  couch  of  heather,  when  he  slept, 
With  faithful  care  unwearied  watches  kept. 
But  thither  rushed  the  foe,  and  Moidart's  shore 
Beckoned  from  far  the  wanderer's  feet  once  more ; 
Again  he  sought  Loch  Shiel's  forsaken  strand, 
Where  erst  exulting  marched  his  eager  band  ; 
Again  he  trod  the  heath  of  Finnan's  vale.

Where  first  his  banner  caught  the  mountain  gale  ;- 

But  mute  the  echoes  which  had  hailed  him  there, 

And  sad  the  silence  of  that  desert  lair. 

The  sea-bird  saw  him  on  her  crag  intrude, 

The  eagle  on  his  stormy  solitude, 

The  homeless  clansman,  driven  by  the  foe 

To  lofty  ranges  of  the  mountain  roe. 

In  wild  amazement  met  the  exile  there. 

Wasted  and  pale  with  want,  and  worn  with  care.* 

Where'er  he  gazed,  the  Victor's  waving  brand 

Shed  war  and  desolation  o'er  the  land  ; 

Where'er  he  turned,  the  gathering  foe  was  near, 

And  pass  and  valley  dark  with  plume  and  spear. 

Now  in  Glenmorriston  behold  him  stand 
Beneath  the  shieling  of  a  robber-band  ! 
The  daring  Seven,  of  aspect  stern  and  rude. 
Who  boldly  held  that  haughty  solitude.

spot.

No  aliens  they — on  dark  Culloden's  plain 

For  him  their  mighty  claymores  heaped  the  slain. 

No  dastard  souls — they  vowed  in  kindled  ire, 

When  o'er  their  dwellings  rose  th'  avenging  fire, 

To  front  again  the  whelming  tide  of  woe, 

And  brave  with  sheathless  steel  th'  insulting  foe. 

Cheered  by  the  faith  of  true  and  steadfast  men,* 

The  Stuart  lingers  in  that  desert  glen, 

And  like  the  Bruce  of  old,  in  Rachin's  isle 

Mid  darkest  peril  finds  repose  awhile.  » 

'Tis  midnight,  and  around  the  lawless  band, 
A  watchful  host,  the  shadowy  mountains  stand ; 
While  high  in  heaven  is  glimmering  fair  and  bright 
The  starry  diadem  of  solemn  night. 
On  far  Ben  Nevis  sleeps  the  moonlight  gleam. 
O'er  still  Loch  Ness  the  stars  in  beauty  beam. 
And  mid  yon  cavern  glides  that  radiance  pale. 
Where  slumbering  lie  the  champions  of  the  vale.

But  lo  !  the  Chief  on  bended  *  knee  is  there — 
Apart  he  breathes  the  thrilHng  voice  of  prayer  ! — 
Thou  murm'ring  breeze,  be  silent  !  hush  thy  moan, 
Thou  rushing  stream,  beneath  that  hallowed  tone  ! 
And  ye  to  whom  yon  radiant  realms  are  given, 
Bright  angel  warders,  waft  the  vow  to  Heaven  ! 

Anon  the  cave  is  tenantless,  and  now 
The  wanderer  rests  on  stern  Benalder's  brow, 
Where  mantling  heath  and  rifted  rock  conceal 
The  faithful  Cluny  and  the  brave  Lochiel.t 
There  in  tliat  mountain-home  of  storm  and  blast, 
Hope  sheds  her  rainbow  o'er  his  doom  at  last. 
And  soon  he  hails  in  Moidart's  sheltering  bay 
The  bark  that  waits  to  bear  him  far  away. 

Oh  !  dark  the  gloom  that  o'er  his  spirit  fell 
When  to  the  mountain-land  he  bade  farewell.

morning  and  evening  to  perform  his  devotions.' — Chambers,  p.  117.

Mount  Benalder ;  it  was  concealed  by  a  close  thicket,  and  half  suspended

And  saw  the  valley  fade,  the  cliff  grow  dim 

From  whence  the  Monarch-Bird  had  welcomed  him.* 

There  "once  had  gleamed  his  glory's  meteor  ray — 

There  trod  the  stately  Seven t — but  where  were  they? 

Thence  with  the  brave  he  sought  the  path  of  Fame — 

And  there  returned — but  crushed  and  lone  he  came. 

Was  it  a  dream  ?  alas  !  beside  him  rose 

The  chieftain's  sigh,  the  clansman's  murmured  woes  ; 

For  there  were  bursting  hearts,  the  shattered  wreck 

Of  Fate  and  Fortune,  on  that  woful  deck  ! 

Oh  !  had  he  found  the  hero's  glorious  grave, 
And  perished  on  Culloden  with  the  brave, 
Nations  had  breathed  his  dirge,  and  deathless  Fame 
Hallowed  for  aye  the  latest  Stuart's  name. 
Though  bright  his  Morn  with  manhood's  joyous  pride, 


*  '  As  they  neared  the  shore,  an  eagle  that  came  hovering  round  the  ship,

your  Royal  Highness  to  Scotland.'" — Mahon,  vol.  iii.  p.  342.

86  TRINCE    CHARLES    EDWARD 

How  thick  the  darkness  fell  at  Eveningtide  I  * 
Monarchs  forsook  who  fostered  him  of  old, 
And  faithless  Gallia's  ancient  love  grew  cold. 
Then,  stung  with  treachery  and  seared  with  care, 
He  bowed  his  soaring  spirit  to  despair ; 
Sought  in  excess  and  passion  Lethe's  gloom, 
And  steeled  the  hearts  that  softened  o'er  his  doom. 
Yet  oft  the  buried  hope  of  youth  would  burn, 
The  ancient  zeal,  the  former  soul  return  ; 
Still  were  his  country's  faithful  warriors  dear, 
Still  would  he  shed  for  her  the  patriot's  tear ; — 
E'en  when  old  age  with  pain  and  sorrow  came,''" 
The  pibroch's  note  could  wake  the  slumbering  flame. 


*  'His  character  had  darkened  with  his  fortunes.  A  long  train  of  dis- 
appointments and  humiliations  working  on  a  fiery  mind,  spurred  it  almost 
into  frenry  and  degraded  it.  The  habit  of  drinking,  which  for  some  years 
he  indulged  without  restraint,  seems  to  have  been  first  formed  during  his 
Highland  adventures  and  escapes,  when  a  dram  of  whisky  might  some- 
times supply  the  want  of  food  and  rest.' — Mahon,  vol.  iii.  p.  554. 

t  '  It  is  also  an  affecting,  and,  I  may  surely  add,  redeeming  circumstance 
in  the  life  of  this  ill-fated  Prince,  that  amongst  the  amusements  of  his  last  and 
lonely  hours  was  that  of  playing  on  the  Highland  bagpipe  those  airs  which 
in  his  brighter  days  soothed  him  in  the  bivouac,  or  led  him  to  victory.' —

Shone  with  the  pride  of  old,  and  yearned  for  Victory. 

Land  of  the  loyal,  when  the  Stuart  fell. 
Thy  faithful  Mountains  sighed  a  fond  farewell, 
The  dirge  of  Freedom  pealed  along  the  gale. 
And  tears  of  Sorrow  flowed  in  every  vale ; 
Yet  did  that  Conflict  quell  despotic  sway, 
It  was  the  storm  that  rolled  thy  thrall  away. 
The  Cloud  of  Mercy  hovering  o'er  thy  tears, 
A  Fiery  Pillar  in  thy  path  of  years. 
Still  do  thy  children  love  Prince  Charlie's  name. 
Like  flowers  along  thy  valleys  lives  his  fame ; 
Still  many  a  bard  in  thrilling  numbers  sings 
The  hero-oflspring  of  a  hundred  kings ; 
Thy  shepherds  love  to  linger  where  he  stood. 
Of  Gladsmuir  sing,  and  ancient  Holyrood  ; 
Tell  how  he  fought  that  unavailing  day. 
And  sigh  once  more  Culloden's  woes  away. 
But  memory  kindling  wakes  a  happier  theme.

The  peaceful  throne  where  queenly  beauty  smiles. 
And  vassal-nations  greet  the  Lady  of  the  Isles, 

Mid  alien  graves  he  sleeps  !  the  stately  dome 
Of  Tiber's  ancient  city  shrouds  his  tomb  ! 
Peace  to  his  ashes  !  tho'  they  coldly  lie 
Where  heroes  sleep,  and  wrecks  of  grandeur  sigh, 
No  relique  hallows  more  that  solemn  shrine 
Than  the  last  urn  of  Stuart's  haughty  line. 
■Well  might  he  roam,  with  slow  and  pausing  tread, 
The  Pilgrim  Bard,*  the  Minstrel  of  the  dead.

Theme  of  his  youth,  and  hero  of  his  fame  ! 
Lo  !  as  he  leans  upon  his  staff,  return 
The  former  dreams — the  ancient  glances  burn  ! 
Bright  Holyrood  is  there — the  pibroch  rings,

To  breathe  again  these  visions  to  the  wind  ! 

To  chant  once  more  the  legend  of  his  lay, 

And  chide  with  spells  of  song  his  grief  away  ! 

In  vain  !  e'en  then  the  gloom  of  night  was  nigh. 

The  shadows  brooded  o'er  the  poet's  eye —

The  scenes  he  loved  in  youth,  in  age  were  dear ; 

His  latest  sigh  to  Scotland's  fame  he  gave. 

And  his  last  dream  was  on  her  Stuart's  grave  ! 

Quenched  was  the  soul  of  song — Health— Hope  had

THE  LADY  OF  LYONESSE. 


I. 

A  LAND  of  matchless  grace  was  Lyonesse, 
Glorious  with  rolling  hills,  rejoicing  streams, 
Hoar  monuments  upreared  when  time  was  young, 
Wide  plains  of  forest,  slopes  of  golden  corn, 
And  stately  castles  crowning  granite  peaks. 
Thence  sprang  Trevilyan,  Cornwall's  bravest  knight, 
Heir  of  the  noblest  lineage  in  the  land, 
Whose  sire  could  tell  of  exploits  he  had  wrought 
Beneath  great  Arthur's  banner,  when  he  swept 
Fierce  hordes  of  Saxon  thieves  from  Cornish  soil. 
And  there  dwelt  Gwyneth,  lily  of  the  west, 
Shaped  to  be  loved  by  all  who  saw  her  face, 
And  holding  men  in  thraldom  with  her  glance. 


THE    LADY    OF    LYONESSE.  9 1 

Trevilyan's  heart  and  hers  had  met  in  youth, 
And  learnt  to  love  each  other,  ere  they  knew 
The  name  of  love.     Oft  in  their  childish  sport 
He  was  her  valiant  knight,  and  she  his  queen, 
With  daisy-chaplets  crowned.     But  brief  their  bliss. 
For  when  his  youthful  arm  could  wield  the  sword. 
The  martial  trump  was  blown,  and  with  the  brave 
He  left  the  joys  of  home  to  meet  the  foe. 

n. 

Ere  long  came  tidings  of  his  valiance. 
How  on  the  Tamar's  banks  a  pagan  host 
Had  hemmed  him  round,  and  how  he  hewed  them  down, 
Cleaving  their  helmets  with  his  battle-axe, 
Till  Tamar's  torrent  reddened  with  their  blood. 
Then  through  the  land  his  bright  renown  was  sung. 
And  roses  bloomed  on  Gwyneth's  lily  cheeks. 
But  other  tidings  followed. — From  the  camp 
There  came  a  wounded  soldier,  who  had  seen 
The  hero  fall  in  fight,  pierced  through  the  helm, 
And  dragged  by  savage  foemen  from  the  field. 


92  THE    LADY    OF    LYONESSE. 

Then  ached  the  hearts  of  Lyonesse  with  dole, 
Alike  in  peasant  cot  and  lordly  tower  ; 
And  Gwyneth's  roses  withered  from  her  cheeks ; 
Yet  fitfully  returned,  whene'er  she  heard 
Trevilyan's  proAvess  sung  in  bower  and  hall. 
No  more  in  dance  and  tournament  was  seen 
Her  kindling  eye.     No  more  in  forest  glades 
With  blithe  companions  rang  her  merry  voice. 
She  dwelt  apart  from  joy,  and  could  not  tell 
Her  dearest  friend  the  secret  of  her  woe ; 
Too  sacred  seemed  it  to  be  noised  in  speech, 
Too  pure  and  deep  for  human  utterance. 

in. 

Sorrow  and  joy  clashed  strangely,  when  the  troops 
Returned  victorious  from  the  deadly  strife : 
Paans  of  welcome,  wailing  for  the  slain, 
Tears  of  the  widow,  greetings  of  the  wife. 
Darkened  and  cheered  the  hearths  of  Lyonesse. 
But  all  save  Gwyneth  halved  their  grief  with  friends. 
Or  by  rejoicing  multiplied  their  joy. 


THE    LADY    OF    LYONESSE.  93 

Lone  as  a  stricken  deer  she  mourned  and  wept, 
Soothed  by  no  human  solace,  for  none  knew. 
But  God  alone,  the  secret  of  her  heart. 

IV. 

Seven  years  of  peaceful  plenty  filled  the  land, 
When  wasting  war  had  ceased,  but  rivalry 
In  pride  and  grandeur  followed,  which  unstrung 
The  manhood  of  the  knights  ;  corrupting  peace 
Till  it  became  a  deadlier  scourge  than  war. 
And  breeding  luxury,  with  all  its  train 
Of  lusts  and  indolence.     Greedy  of  gold. 
For  idle  pomp,  and  not  for -deeds  of  love, 
The  wealthy  wealthier  grew ;  and  envious  serfs. 
Prone  to  the  faults  and  foibles  of  their  lords. 
Waxed  haughty,  grasping,  false  to  man  and  God. 
But  whilst  the  world  grew  baser,  Gwyneth's  soul 
Became  more  heavenly,  finding  balm  for  grief 
In  prayer  to  God,  and  resting  trustfully 
In  conscious  love  that  could  not  change  nor  fail. 
Ere  long  her  parents  died,  and  she  was  left. 


94  THE    LADY    OF    LYONESSE. 

Sole  issue  of  their  house  and  Hneage, 
To  rule  the  vassals  of  a  wide  domain. 
Great  was  her  fame  for  beauty,  greater  still 
For  gentleness,  and  many  a  gallant  knight, 
Radiant  with  dreams  of  love,  approached  her  bower. 
But  crestfallen  rode  away ;  and  lordly  chiefs 
Assayed  in  vain  to  blend  with  theirs  her  name. 
Constant  as  Ocean's  daily  ebb  and  flow 
In  fealty  to  the  tender  queen  of  night, 
Flowed  the  deep  current  of  her  lonely  life, 
True  to  the  memory  of  Trevilyan's  love  ; 
And  every  tree  and  flower  around  her  home, 
To  which  some  act  of  his  had  lent  a  charm, 
Smiled  on  her  constancy ;  whilst  babbling  waves 
Discoursed  of  days  when  hand  in  hand  they  roamed 
Along  the  pebbly  shore,  and  angels  seemed 
To  whisper  evermore,  'Faint  not,  true  heart ! 
The  spring  wells  forth  to  catch  the  rays  of  light ; 
The  storm-cloud  wears  a  rainbow  on  its  breast ; 
The  midnight  gloom  reveals  the  depths  of  light ; 
Love  on ; — no  truthful  heart  can  love  in  vain  ! ' 


THE    LADY    OF    LYONESSE.  95 

V. 

Hard  by  th'  ancestral  home  of  Gwyneth  lay 
A  lonely  combe,  whose  slopes  were  bright  with  gorse 
And  lichen-covered  rocks.     A  merry  stream 
Danced  down  its  bed  in  playful  cataracts  ; 
Now  plunging  into  depths  arched  o'er  with  ferns 
Of  rarest  growth,  and  tangled  clematis  ; 
Now  dashing  forth  and  eddying  into  pools, 
Where  trout  and  grayling  found  a  quiet  home. 
There  in  that  glen  once  dwelt  a  saintly  man, 
Who  from  a  distant  clime  had  brought  Christ's  words 
Of  light  and  life  to  pagan  Lyonesse; 
And  the  rude  chapel  which  his  hands  had  built 
Still  witnessed  to  his  faith,  though  evil  times 
Had  dimmed  its  brightness.     Thither  day  by  day 
Went  Gwyneth,  to  repose  in  solitude 
Her  weary  heart  on  God  ;  and  oft  she  strayed 
Beyond  the  chapel  to  the  shore,  to  watch 
The  sunset-rubies  gem  the  emerald  sea. 
Emerging  from  the  glen  one  summer  eve, 


96  THE    LADY    OF    LYONESSE. 

Lo  !   full  before  her  in  the  placid  cove 
A  vessel  lay,  and  on  the  sand  a  boat, 
With  sailors  standing  by  of  aspect  stern. 
Ere  she  could  turn,  two  ruffians  from  behind 
Grappled  her  hands,  and  bore  her  to  the  ship. 
In  vain  she  cried  for  help,  and  prayed  for  grace  ; 
In  vain  she  prayed  them  to  reveal  her  doom. 
Dumb  to  entreaty,  off  they  swiftly  sped. 
Two  keeping  guard  beside  her,  and  the  rest 
Winging  their  flight  in  foam  along  the  coast. 

VI. 

The  sun  sank  sullenly  in  banks  of  cloud, 
Flinging  fierce  embers  on  his  purple  couch. 
A  burst  of  angry  thunder  shook  the  sea  \ 
And  though  the  air  was  still,  long  swelling  waves 
Dashed  like  assaulting  foemen  on  the  rocks. 
AVhen  darkness  fell,  the  pinnace  reached  a  strait 
That  severed  Sylleh's  rocks  from  Lyonesse, 
And,  guided  by  a  beacon-light,  approached 


THE    LADY    OF    LYONESSE.  97 

A  massive  tower  that  crowned  the  mainland  cHff. 
Then  Gwyneth  knew  her  fate,  for  there  abode 
Budic,  a'tyrant,  who  was  wont  to  pay 
Vain  homage  to  her  beauty,  and  had  sworn 
That  ere  the  summer  bloom  had  fled,  his  hand 
Would  pluck  the  fairest  flower  in  Lyonesse. 


VII. 

High  feast  was  held  that  night  in  Budic's  tower. 
Crowning  a  day  of  tournament,  and  all 
The  choicest  ministers  of  mirth  were  there  : 
Music  to  charm  the  ear  andlead  the  dance, 
Beauty  and  song,  buffoonery  and  wit, 
Games  for  the  sportive,  converse  for  the  grave. 
And  dainty  fare  in  lavish  store  for  all. 
Sleek  lords  and  knights  were  there  in  harness  bright. 
And  haughty  dames  in  gold  and  purple  clad, 
Who  shook  their  tresses  when  they  heard  men  talk 
Of  Budic's  vice,  but  graced  his  board  with  smiles, 
And  prated  to  their  daughters  of  his  wealth. 


98  THE    LADY  OF  LYONESSE. 

Laughter  smote  heavily  on  Gwyneth's  ear, 
When,  grasped  by  stalwart  arms,  she  past  the  hall 
And  up  the  dungeon  stair  in  haste  was  borne. 
There,  prisoned  in  a  spacious  room,  she  lay 
Prone  on  the  floor,  weeping  in  hopeless  woe, 
And  praying  that  the  righteous  sword  of  Heaven 
Might  save  her  from  the  hateful  tyrant's  power. 

VIII. 

Sweet  music  floated  through  the  corridors ; 
But  thunder  rolled  along  the  swelling  sea, 
And  harshly  drowned  the  puny  voice  of  mirth. 
Light  from  a  thousand  torches  blazed  around, 
Kindling  the  gems  that  sparkled  on  the  guests, 
Flashing  on  massive  cups  of  burnished  gold, 
xAnd  flickering  up  the  tower,  until  it  touched 
With  spectral  fingers  Gwyneth's  streaming  tears. 
But  ever  and  anon  in  floods  of  fire 
Fierce  lightnings  blazed,  turning  to  ghastliness 
The  pomp  and  grandeur  of  the  festal  scene, 
And  the  sea  bellowed  with  his  deepest  roar. 


THE    LADY    OF    LYONESSE.  99 

At  midnight,  when  all  sounds  of  joy  had  ceased. 

And  Budic's  foot  was  on  the  dungeon  stair, 

The  bolt  of  doom  was  launched.     Tempest  and  fire, 

Thunder  and  earthquake  stormed  the  tyrant's  tower, 

Rending  the  massive  walls,  and  crashing  down 

An  avalanche  of  ramparts  to  the  sea. 

Blinded  and  stunned,  the  helpless  Gwyneth  fell 

Unscathed  amongst  the  ruins,  and  when  sight 

Returned,  the  fires  of  heaven  shone  out  again, 

Revealing  at  the  rock  whereon  she  lay 

An  empty  boat.     Lightly  she  loosed  its  chain, 

And  leaping  in,  sped  swiftly  from  the  shore. 


IX. 


Snatched  like  an  aimless  bubble  by  the  tide, 
Gwyneth  was  swept  along  mid  seething  shoals, 
And  jagged  rocks  that  bristled  through  the  surf. 
Behind  her,  wrapped  in  flame,  the  shattered  tower 
Glared  like  a  fiend  against  the  ebon  sky. 
And  flung  a  lurid  blaze  across  the  strait. 


lOO  THE    LADY    OF    LYONESSE. 

Before  her  lay  an  inlet  of  the  sea, 

Runnhig  between  dark  cHffs,  and  up  its  bed 

Her  boat  was  hurried  by  the  surging  stream. 

Unceasing  thunder  rattled  overhead, 

Rousing  responsive  tongues  from  cave  and  glen  ; 

And  lightnings  quick  and  dazzling  fired  the  night, 

As  though  the  sons  of  God  had  come  from  heaven 

To  light  the  pilgrim  to  some  place  of  rest. 

On,  like  a  cageling  flying  from  its  thrall. 

She  sped,  and  cared  not  whither ;  in  her  flight 

From  shame  rejoicing,  but  rejoicing  more 

In  conscious  love  and  guardianship  of  God. 

When  morning  broke,  the  tide,  still  swelling,  flung 
Her  boat  upon  the  creek's  remotest  marge. 
Where  groves  of  oak  and  yew-trees  clustered  round 
The  base  of  Cara  Clowse,*  that  famous  Mount, 
The  gem  and  glory  of  the  western  land. 
Whose  hoary  top  was  hallowed  by  the  Cross, 

*  The  name  of  St.  Michael's  Mount,  in  the  old  Cornish  tongue,  was 
'  Cara  Clowse  en  Cowse,'  /.  e.  The  Hoar  Rock  in  the  Wood.  Though  the 
flood-tide  now  surrounds  it,  there  is  a  tradition  that  it  originally  stood  in  a 
forest,  and  was  five  or  six  miles  distant  from  the  sea. 


THE    LADY    OF    LYONESSE.  lOI 

And  in  remotest  centuries  had  been 
The  Druid's  sacred  trysting-place  with  Heaven. 
Thither  ascended  Gwyneth,  filled  with  hope 
That  some  good  hermit  still  might  linger  there 
To  shield  the  friendless,  though  the  reign  of  sin 
Had  well-nigh  banished  good  men  from  the  land. 
And  one  came  forth  to  meet  her  from  a  cell, 
Rooted  amongst  the  ivy-covered  rocks. 
Who  listened  to  the  story  of  her  woe 
With  troubled  brow,  and  led  her  up  the  steep. 

X. 

The  sun  was  rising  o'er  Tregonning  hill, 
Clothing  with  golden  robes  the  palaces 
And  towers  of  Lyonesse,  when  Gwyneth  stood 
Beside  the  hermit  on  the  topmost  rock. 
But  thunder  still  was  mingling  with  the  roar 
Of  distant  waves,  and  up  the  narrow  creek 
The  tide  w^as  widening  o'er  its  ancient  bounds. 
'  O  land  of  beauty  ! '  cried  the  holy  man. 
Gazing  with  tearful  eyes  on  Lyonesse ; 


I02  THE    LADY    OF    LYONESSE. 

'  O  Paradise  of  pomp  and  luxury  ! 

How  are  the  mighty  fallen  !    In  days  of  yore, 

Honour  was  brighter  to  thy  sons  than  gold, 

And  virtue  dearer  than  soft  dalliance. 

Thy  knights,  though  coarse  and  rude,  had  higher  aims 

Than  selfish  greed  and  silken  vanities ; 

They  guarded  with  strong  hand  and  willing  heart 

God's  landmarks  upon  earth  of  truth  and  right. 

But  now,  alas  !  the  watchword  of  the  world 

Is  wealth  instead  of  worth  ;  and  men  are  wont 

To  bow  the  knee  to  all  that  bears  the  brand 

Of  Mammon,  and  to  worship  nought  beside ; 

Sapping  their  strength  with  lust,  and  wasting  life 

In  toil  to  hoard,  and  harder  toil  to  spend  ! ' 

So  spake  the  hermit,  and  a  frowning  cloud 

Slid  o'er  the  sun.     An  earthquake  shook  the  hills, 

And  all  the  distant  shore  grew  white  with  foam. 


THE    LADY    OF    LYONESSE.  IO3 


XI. 

The  portents  of  that  morning  shook  men's  hearts 
With  terror,  leveUing  to  nothingness 
The  world's  vain  schemes,  and  humbUng  to  the  dust 
Chieftain  and  serf  in  common  impotence. 
But  one  there  was  to  whom  impending  doom 
Brought  twofold  woe.     A  minstrel  lone  and  lorn 
He  seemed,  for  from  his  shoulders  hung  a  harp ; 
And  yet  his  presence  would  have  graced  a  king. 
Yestreen  at  sundown  he  had  blown  the  horn 
That  hung  at  Gwyneth's  postern,  to  announce 
News  of  Trevilyan,  long  in  bondage  held 
By  Danish  foes,  but  now  from  thrall  escaped ; 
And  finding  all  the  household  dreading  sore 
That  some  mischance  their  lady  had  befallen, 
Had  joined  with  them  in  quest  of  her  all  night. 
None  better  knew  than  he  the  paths  she  loved  ; 
For  he  himself  was  Gwyneth's  own  true  knight. 
Who  in  disguise  had  come  to  see  what  change 


I04      THE  LADY  OF  LYON  ESSE. 

His  years  of  banishment  had  wrought  in  her, 
And  whether,  as  he  dared  to  hope,  her  love 
Was  constant  as  his  own.     Adown  the  combe 
He  sped,  and  in  the  chapel  paused  to  ask 
For  her  God's  benison,  where  she  that  day 
Had  prayed  that  angel-hosts  might  succour  him  ; 
Then  to  the  beach,  and  up  the  gorse-clad  hill, 
Where  they  had  watched  so  oft  the  setting  sun ; 
And  thence  across  the  heathery  downs  he  strode, 
Halting  between  the  stormy  gusts,  to  rouse 
The  echoes  with  her  name ;  whilst  troubled  serfs 
Explored  the  tangled  woods  and  rocky  shores. 
And  kindled  signal-fires  on  all  the  tors. 


xn. 

As  one  who  dreams  of  Paradise,  but  sees 
Before  his  waking  eyes  a  mocking  fiend. 
So  shuddered  with  dismay  Trevilyan's  soul 
When  morning  broke  upon  the  doomed  land. 
Gwyneth  so  true,  so  dear,  so  nearly  won, 


THE    LADY    OF    LYONESSE,  I05 

After  long  years  of  hopeless  severance, 
Was  gone,  for  ever  gone  ;  and  Lyonesse, 
His  natfve  home,  the  Zion  of  his  hopes. 
Shaken  by  earthquake,  stormed  by  raging  waves, 
Was  shrinking  from  the  angry  face  of  heaven ; 
Whilst  up  the  combes  on  every  side  the  sea 
Was  swiftly  marching  with  exulting  roar. 


XIII. 

Louder  than  wind  or  wave  there  rose  a  shriek 
From  all  the  land,  and  then  a  griding  noise 
Of  falling  towers  ;  as  though  the  quaking  hills 
Had  found  a  voice  to  deprecate  their  doom. 
Wolves  from  the  forest  depths  rushed  howling  forth. 
Mingling  with  timid  deer  ;  and  screaming  kites. 
In  strange  companionship  with  frightened  choughs, 
Wheeled  o'er  the  lofty  tors  ;  whilst  knights  and  serfs, 
Scullions  and  seneschals,  on  crag  and  peak 
Claimed  equal  fellowship  in  face  of  death. 


I06  THE    LADY   OF    LVONESSE. 

Still  plodding  on,  and  breathing  Gwyneth's  name, 

Trevilyan  reached  a  glen,  where  surging  waves 

Were  sweeping  o'er  the  meads,  and  crashing  down 

Great  branches  of  the  lichen-tufted  trees  ; 

When,  lo  !  a  milk-white  steed,  caparisoned 

With  costly  trappings,  galloped  up  the  vale 

And  stood  before  the  knight,  pawing  the  ground, 

And  tossing  from  his  mane  the  ocean  spray. 

Hailing  that  courser  as  a  Heaven-sent  boon, 

Trevilyan  vaulted  on  him,  and  across 

The  flood  that  filled  the  valley  quickly  swam. 

Then  up  the  slope  and  o'er  the  downs  he  dashed, 

Half-blinded  by  the  foam  which  filled  the  sky, 

And  fell  like  driven  snow  ;  hoping  to  reach 

The  hermit's  hoary  mount,  which  towered  beyond 

The  marge  of  Lyonesse.     But  soon,  alas  ! 

The  hungry  sea  closed  round  him,  and  the  ridge 

Whereon  he  rode  sank  like  a  bank  of  sand 

Which  children  raise  to  dam  the  flowing  tide. 

Yet  onwards  still  he  sped  his  fiery  steed, 

Plunging  through  shoals,  swimming  abysmal  depths. 


THE   LADY    OF    LYONESSE.  IO7 

Breasting  wild  waves,  and  weathering  lone  hill-tops 
That  peered  above  the  flood,  until  he  won 
A  haven  on  the  slopes  of  Cara  Clowse.* 


XIV. 

There,  when  that  day  of  doom  was  closing,  stood 
Trevilyan  and  his  Gwyneth  side  by  side. 
Blissful  as  souls  victorious  over  death, 
When  first  they  hail  the  light  of  Paradise ; 
And  praising  God,  who  by  His  outstretched  arm, 
Sealing  their  hopes  with  sign  and  miracle, 
Had  rolled  away  the  clouds  that  dimmed  their  life. 
Before  them  in  its  grave  the  wicked  land 
Lay  buried  evermore,  and  monsters  foul 
Haunted  its  gilded  halls  and  stately  towers. 
Home,  lands,  and  gold  had  perished,  but  true  love 


*  In  memory  of  this  traditional  escape  of  Trevilyan  from  Lyonesse,  his 
descendants  bear  on  their  coat-of-arms,  at  the  present  time,  a  horse  argent 
issuing  out  of  the  sea. 


I08  THE    LADY    OF   LYONESSE. 

Remained,  and,  like  the  widow's  oil,  became 
A  dower  of  daily  blessing,  scattering 
Along  their  path  of  years  more  precious  wealth 
Than  all  the  gems  that  blazed  in  Lyonesse. 


JOY. 

CjrOD  wills  not  that  this  sorrow-stricken  earth 
Should  evermore  a  garb  of  mourning  wear ; 

Bright  flowers,  sweet  melodies,  and  harmless  mirth, 
Are  gifts  from  Him  to  lighten  grief  and  care. 

Christ  too,  our  loving  Master,  led  His  band 
Of  chosen  converts  to  a  marriage  feast ; 

And  there  prolonged  by  His  divine  command 
The  festive  hours,  and  festive  store  increased. 

Oft  in  His  weariness  He  left  the  throng 
For  converse  with  dear  friends  at  Bethany ; 

And  oft  the  merry  prattle  of  the  young 
Kindled  His  heart  with  tender  sympathy. 


I  I O  JOY. 

In  birds  and  wayside  flowers  He  found  delight ; 

Their  beauty  gladdened  Him  where'er  He  trod  ,' 
The  callow  ravens  on  the  rocky  height, 

And  homely  sparrows,  spake  to  Him  of  God. 

Tabor  and  Hermon  were  a  joy  to  Him  ; 

He  climbed  their  slopes  to  greet  the  morning  sky 
And  Zion's  beauty  through  His  tears  grew  dim, 

When  with  prophetic  gaze  He  saw  it  die. 

Yearning  for  rest,  He  sought  the  desert  plain, 
Or  woo'd  the  breezes  of  Capernaum's  sea  ; 

And  in  the  midnight  of  His  darkest  pain 
He  loved  the  Olives  of  Gethsemane. 

So  may  we  joy  in  all  things  pure  and  bright. 
Beauty  and  mirth,  music  and  lovely  flowers  ; 

For  He  who  leads  us  through  the  gloom  of  night, 
Has  left  His  footprints  too  on  sunny  hours. 


ONWARDS. 

Widening,  deepening,  flowing  ever, 

Swells  the  tide  of  human  life 
Like  a  swift,  majestic  river ; 

Joy  and  sorrow,  peace  and  strife, 

Fleck  its  bosom  evermore, 

As  the  wayward  bubbles  gleam 

In  the  whirlpools  of  a  stream. 

Mountains  stem  its  rugged  way  ; 

Sluices  tempt  its  waves  to  stray  ; 

Burning  deserts  drain  its  store. 
But  full  and  placid  grows  its  swelling  breast, 

Reflecting  heaven's  own  glory  more  and  more. 

And  nearing,  consciously,  the  peaceful  shore 
Of  the  great  ocean,  where  it  yearns  to  rest.
